OS (operating system) commands are activated from the Survo Editor by putting `>' in front of the command. For example, >DIR A: lists the files of the A disk and >COPY A:*.TXT C:\DATA copies all .TXT files from A: to directory DATA on C: Survo does not use any environment variables of OS but some other programs called from Survo may need them. Environment variables of OS are set by PUTENV command. Example: PUTENV R_PROFILE=D:\R\SURVO.R A = Calling other programs from Survo C = more information on control operations D = more information on file management E = more information on the Survo Editor
