Opening a Book from the Command Line (OpenVMS) You can start Bookreader and open a book directly from the command line. To open a book from the command line on OpenVMS, start Bookreader and specify the book name on the command line. For example, $ BOOKREADER filename.DECW$BOOK Alternatively, you can specify a bookshelf file to open. For example, $ BOOKREADER filename.DECW$BOOKSHELF You can include a full OpenVMS file specification on the command line. For example, $ BOOKREADER disk:[directory]filename.DECW$BOOK If you supply a file specification that is invalid, Bookreader tries to open the default library file, as pointed to by the DECW$BOOKSHELF logical name, in the locations speci- fied by the DECW$BOOK logical name. See online help or the book Managing Bookreader Libraries and Books for more information.
