This month's Happy Hacker program is a command line junkie's dream
come true.  Point and Shoot (PAS) allows you to attach an easy to
use menu to ANY command.  That's right ^Uany command^U. Now XCOPY,
DEL, CD, DELDIR all have menus.  If you use DOS a lot, you are
going to LOVE this program.

^CTHIS PROGRAM ASSUMES THE USER KNOWS
^CTHE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE.

PAS works like a second level file filter.  For example, imagine
that you had a directory on your hard drive with five *.pas
files, five *.doc files and five *.exe files in it.  Your goal is
to copy two of the *.pas files and three of the *.exe files to a
floppy in drive B:.  In DOS you would have to do a directory,
note the names and possibly issue COPY commands for each file.
With PAS all you type is, PAS COPY [*.PAS *.EXE] B: and you'll be
presented with a menu of all five *.PAS files. Using your
keyboard or your mouse, mark the two *.PAS files you would like
to copy and press [ENTER].  PAS will then copy the marked files 
to B:.  PAS then gives you a menu of *.EXE files and you repeat 
the marking process on the three files you need.

The syntax for PAS is:

PAS (PAS switches) COMMAND [source file path and mask]
(destination path) (COMMAND switches)

Note:

(  ): indicates optional parameters
[  ]: Must be included around the source file path and mask.

There are several command line switches which change how PAS
functions.  The following list will alter PAS for your special
needs:

/C - Suppress color (force monochrome)
/N - Turn sound (noise) off
/E - Turn exploding windows off
/S:n|e|s|d - Sort listing by name, ext, size, or date
/H - Help screen of switches

PAS has in-program help available by pressing [F1] when in the
program, but it's so easy we doubt you'll need it.

^CQuick Start

* Press [R] to run Point and Shoot. We've set the program up to 
run as if "PAS TYPE [*.TXT] |MORE" had been issued from the 
command line.

* Use your mouse or keyboard to mark files and press [ENTER] to 
type them.
