Command Line Utilities |

The classic utilities sub-system comprises a set of system utilities that may be called directly from the Command line. These are all accessed using a leading * asterisk (e.g. the character-based editor is invoked by entering CALL "*E"). You can also access these utilities via the F5 function key or by issuing a CALL "**", which displays a set of menu-driven commands at the top of the console:
