10.0;cmdf (command_file) *DM*, revision 1.0, 88/03/17
cmdf (command_file) execute DM script
usage:  cmdf pathname [option]



DESCRIPTION
     cmdf directs the DM to read commands from a file (DM script).  When it
     reaches the end of the file, the cursor returns to its previous location.

     You can nest command files; that is, you can use cmdf  within another DM
     script.

ARGUMENTS
     pathname (required)
                    Specify the name of the file to be executed.  You can
                    specify DM commands one per line, or several per line,
                    each delimited by semicolons.

OPTIONS
     -p (optional)  The -p option specifies that the command file to be
                    executed is a paste buffer.  The DM can execute commands
                    in a paste buffer faster than it can execute the same
                    commands in an ordinary file.
