runtypes are planned - it should be possible to run a file using RunFile <filename> [<args>]
I'm not sure about the inclusion of load types - they're useful on RISC OS, but not so much on Agon MOS. if they do get added then a companion LoadFile
command would be used which would work like RunFile
on RISC OS you could have system variables with names starting
Alias$@LoadType_
andAlias$@RunType_
following which was the 12-bit filetype code in hex. this would define the command to use when a file of that given filetype was either "loaded" or "run"it would be good to implement essentially the same mechanism, but using filename extensions. this would let us, for instance, be able to directly run a BASIC program from the MOS command prompt just by typing that program's filename
(this of course builds on #54 )
