Change directories within NeXtMidas
<AREA> The area in an option tree (e.g. "prim") <OPT> The option tree name (e.g. "UCL") Keyword Only Parameters: [AUX] Name of AUX directory to change into. This can NOT be combined with <AREA> or <OPT>. (Since NeXtMidas 2.3.1) Changes the OS working directory to that of a given area of an option tree. The nmd command is a OS-independent command (similar to xmd in X-Midas) used to navigate option trees. Note that using "home" as the <AREA> will change into the user's home directory. Since NeXtMidas 2.3.1 it is possible to use nmd to change into one of the local AUX directories by using AUX=. The goal of nmd is to eliminate the need to remember the exact location of a particular directory. This is especially helpful when managing multiple setups on different computers that have different disk configurations. ************************************************************************** * This is an operating system command (aliased when nmstart is run), it * * can be used outside of the NeXtMidas shell. * * * * If run from inside the NeXtMidas shell, the shell MUST temporarially * * exit in order to run this command. Any commands running with /BG will * * be terminated when the Java VM exits to run this command. * ************************************************************************** Examples: 1. Change into the "mcr" directory of the "ucl" option tree: $ nmd mcr ucl 2. Change into the "exp" directory of the current option tree (the "current" option tree is the last one you used nmd to change into): $ nmd prim 3. Change into the user's home directory: $ nmd home 4. Change into the AUX directory used for DAT (Since NeXtMidas 2.3.1): $ nmd AUX=DAT See Also: HOMEPATH, AUX
