An initialization file can only be used with the si and EVE interfaces and must contain valid si commands. Using an initialization file with any other interface would be
irrelevant unless it provided a means for processing such a file. For a listing of
nu/TPUsi commands, or type help at the si command line for on-line documentation. The on-line help system contains
information for each si command.
Initialization files can contain any valid si command. Each line of the initialization file may hold one si command, which must start in the first column. An ‘!’ indicates that all text
to the right will be treated as a comment. Initialization files are processed
after the section file and command file processing and prior to control being
passed to the nu/TPU input loop.
To create an example of an si initialization file, we will translate the second example from the command
file section into si commands:
DEFINE KEY =F7 STORE_TEXT
DEFINE KEY =F8 INSERT HERE
DEFINE KEY =E2 TOP
DEFINE KEY =E4 BOTTOM
DEFINE KEY =F20 HELP
DEFINE KEY =F19 DO
DEFINE KEY =BS_KEY DELETE
