*Filer_Run

Use

This *Command performs the equivalent of double-clicking on an object in a directory display.

Syntax

*Filer_Run [ -Shift|-NoShift ] object

Parameters

object	Valid pathname specifying an object
-Shift	Observe the state of the SHIFT key on the keyboard²
-NoShift	Ignore state of the SHIFT key on the keyboard¹

¹ Available from Filer 2.19 and above

² Available from Filer 2.40 and above

Notes

This command can only be used within the desktop environment, or from within a Desktop boot file.

Pathnames should always include the filing system to avoid any ambiguities.

The SHIFT key will be tested by the Filer. If pressed and the Shift switch given the Filer will instead open the containing directory, the default if neither option is specified is NoShift.
