After Installation two icons , one labeled Stk2002, and one
labeled Stk will appear on your desktop.
- The Stk icon brings up the green Command Center Console.
- To Start Stk2002 click the icon labeled Stk.
- The Command Center Console can do all the functions of Stk2002 simply
by clicking buttons.
- Stk2002 will also run as a stand-alone DOS module in a Windows
Console widow.
- To run as DOS simply click New Dos and enter stk2002.
- Stk2002 can also run DOS scripts. Click My Scripts and then click a
script in the list.
Stk2002 is fully operational either from the
command module or from the Windows console.
The script function includes two windows that drop down when
you click the "My Scripts" button. The left window contains a matching text file
for each of the script files in the right window. Clicking a TXT file brings up
the file in Windows Notepad. Clicking a .BAT file actually runs the script.
Be careful if you make your own scripts. They can be very
powerful and computers do what you tell them to do; not what you want them to
do. Those two things are not always the same.
A DOS script is a computer program. Scripts can do
any thing to a computer that you can do from a DOS command line. Things like
Format your hard drive etc.
