EDTHELP.HLB  —  SET  COMMAND
 Format: SET COMMAND file-specification

 The SET COMMAND (abbreviated SE COMMAND) command is used in a startup
 command file to specify the name of the next startup command file to
 read.  EDT provides a default file type of ".EDT".  If the file is not
 present this command does nothing; otherwise it causes the current
 command file to be abandoned and the new one to be read in its place.

1  –  STARTUP

 When EDT starts up, it reads the installation default startup command
 file.  The name of the file is always EDTSYS.  The default name varies
 depending on the system, as follows:

                    Default Name
                    -----------------
 VAX/VMS            SYS$LIBRARY:.EDT
 RSX-11M & M-PLUS   LB:[1,2].EDT
 RSTS/E             LB:.EDT

 When opening the file, EDT combines the name and the default name
 together into a complete file specification.  On VAX/VMS, therefore, if
 the logical name EDTSYS is defined, EDT will read from it rather than
 from SYS$LIBRARY:EDTSYS.EDT.

 The installation default startup command file should have SET COMMAND
 EDTINI at its end, so that the user's initialization file will be read
 after the installation default initialization file.   If EDTSYS is not
 found, EDT will try again using the name EDTINI, so there is no need for
 an installation-default initialization file that just contains SET
 COMMAND EDTINI.
