I am using MvBase and at TCL the command gets split out at irregular
spots.

EX. SET-TAPEFILE C:\REQ738.VTF comes back as:


8.VTF
[3] VERB?

I can give more examples if need be.

It seem like the port hoses up somehow, They have told me that when the
reloaded the op-sys it went away for awhile.

Do a .Q <enter> from TCL.

This should report the TCL delimiter as:

([) X`FB

It this delimiter is something else, it can give strange results.

You change it by issuing a .Z command

eg .Z[ <enter>

where [ = control [

Let us know what happens.

thats the classic use of .Z instead of .X (they are next to each other on
the keyboard!)

..Xn will re-execute command no n
..Zn will change the command delimiter to "n".. ie typing in HelloNGoodbye
(where N is the number entered in the .Z command) will run Hello then
Goodbye as if you pressed the enter key when you typed N.

I always thought it was barmy!

..z[ (control left square bracket) takes it back to "normal" (which I think
is the escape key)
