FCOPY Reference Manual

Using Your Terminal as a Fromfile 

You can enter a small amount of information into a file directly from
your terminal keyboard.  (You may enter a large amount if you want to,
but that is easier with an editor).

To copy information from your terminal:

   1.  Leave the FROM parameter empty.  If the tofile is a new disk file,
       use the NEW function.  For example,

            >FROM=;TO=NEWFILE;NEW 

   2.  FCOPY waits for you to enter records at your terminal.  Use a
       Return to mark the end of each record.  For example,

            ABC MOVING COMPANY    Return          **Record 1 **
            123 MAIN STREET SF    Return          **Record 2 **
            POP MOVING COMPANY    Return          **Record 3 **
            789 PINE ST SJ        Return          **Record 4 **

   3.  Type CTRL Y or :EOD to mark the end of the fromfile.  (If you use
       CTRL Y, FCOPY can accept additional commands.  If you use :EOD,
       FCOPY terminates.)
