1 #n ! SD maintains a stack of the last ten directories visited. Entering  SD #n  Sets default to the n'th previous entry in the SD stack. If n is omitted, the 1st previous entry on the stack becomes the new default. Unlike "SD #1," "SD #" swaps the 0th and 1st entries on the stack. If you toggle between two directories frequently, using "SD #" will prevent your stack from being filled with only those two directory specifications. ! 1 . ! Sets default to the login default directory and disk. ! 1 .X ! Sets default to the subdirectory named X at the next lower level. If the current default is [A.B], then  SD .X  will result in a default of [A.B.X] ! 1 >X ! Sets default to the directory "X" at this subdirectory level. If the current directory is [A.B.C] then  SD >X  will set default to [A.B.X]. ! 1 Document ! For a hard-copy listing of this HELP text for SD, print the file: P:SD.DOC 1 Errors ! SD checks for the existence of the directory being entered, and prints an error if it is not found, or if the device is not mounted. ! !1 SDENTRY ! ! If a file "SDENTRY.COM" exists in the new directory, it is executed. ! This allows symbol definitions related to that directory. !! !1 SDEXIT !! ! If a file "SDEXIT.COM" exists in the current default directory, it ! is executed before a move is made to a new directory. This allows ! cleaning up of symbol or logical name definitions before leaving the ! current directory. Normally, this feature would be used in conjunc- ! tion with SDENTRY. ! 1 Limitations ! SD does not support multiple default directories or defaults on other nodes. 1 Logical-names ! SD translates logical names if given. For example,  SD SYS$HELP  will set the default to the translation for SYS$HELP. ! 1 Mult ! In certain cases, SD can do two functions in one call. Blank(s) must separate the functions. A. A * will cause the stack to be listed after all other processing is complete. B. On GO operations, you can have it do another movement: $  SD . .Y  (go to subdirectory Y of login default directory) $  SD ^^  (go up two levels; note difference from SD @) $  SD #3 >X  (go to stack entry 3, then over to X) ! 1 Overview !  Set/Show Default Directory  SD ^ Go up one subdirectory level SD @ Go to top level of current directory (enter TOP for help) SD . Go to login default directory and disk SD #n Go to directory in n'th entry of the SD stack SD # Set default to stack entry #1 (toggle stack entries) SD >X Set default to [z.X] when currently in [z.y] SD .X Set default to [current.X] SD X.Y.Z Set default to [X.Y.Z] (enter X for help) SD % Push the current default onto the stack SD * Show the SD stack (enter STACK for help) SD ? Show this SD help information SD Show the current default Enter Mult for help showing how to do multiple SD functions in one call. ! 1 Push_Current ! SD maintains a stack of the last ten directories visited. If SET DEFAULT or another method is used to change the default, the stack will not be updated and the new default will not show up on the stack. Specifying "%" tells SD to update the stack by pushing the current default directory. ! 1 Stack ! SD maintains a stack of the last ten directories visited. Entering  SD *  displays the SD stack, with the current directory at the top. Entering  SD #n  sets the default to the corresponding entry. ! !1 STAR ! ! Entering  SD *  builds display on VT100 screen showing subdirectories ! under the current directory. When the display is complete, enter a ! blank to continue, or enter any of the following EDT keypad commands ! to travel through the display: ! ! up-arrow TOP ADVANCE SECTION ctrl/w ! down-arrow BOTTOM BACKUP LINE ! ! Only four levels of subdirectories are shown; if lower levels exist, ! the parent directory shows an arrow pointing to the right. If a dir- ! ectory name is too long, it will be truncated and a diamond will be ! displayed after it. If the terminal width is 80 columns, truncation ! will occur for names longer than 13 characters; if the screen is set ! to 132 columns, truncation will occur after 26 characters. !! 1 Top ! Entering  SD @  sets default to the top level directory. If currently in [X.Y.Z], you will then be in [X] . ! 1 X ! Sets default to directory [X] on the current device. Note that square brackets are not required around the directory name; they are allowed, however. Examples: $  SD MYDIR  $  SD NEWDIR.A.B  You can also move to a different device, by executing: $  SD device:directory  The colon is required; you may follow the colon with a blank. If you just enter a device, you will go to your current default on the new device (e.g. from DRA0:[X.Y] to DRA1:[X.Y]). ! !1 n ! ! Sets default to the n'th predefined directory. These are usually ! defined at login, using global symbols SD__n. You can define or ! redefine these yourself, as in the following example: ! ! $ SD__2 == "SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MYDIR.MYSUB]" ! ! Such definitions last until you logout or redefine them. If you ! want them to be permanent, put them in your LOGIN.COM file. ! ! Note that you must include the square brackets in the definition. ! ! The definition can also be of a device only, such as "_DRC0:" or ! "SYS$SYSROOT:". If so, then you can combine it with another entry, ! such as: ! ! $  SD 1 X.Y.Z  ! 1 ^ ! Sets default to the next highest directory level. If default is [X.Y.Z], execution of  SD ^  will set default to [X.Y]. You may specify more than one "^" to move up more than one level ($ SD ^^^ to move up three levels). If the current default is a top-level directory, nothing happens. !
