TSE: How to run 4DOS (or 4NT) from TSE?

---

Make sure you have download and installed 4DOS (or 4NT)

---

Method 1: manually: Dos shell

In TSE, goto the DOS shell (by typing <F9>, or via the menu 'File'->'Os
shell'), and type the command '4dos.com' (or '4nt.exe') to run this
executable. Then type the 4DOS commands on the command line
(type 'help' to see a menu of all available commands).

Method 2: manually: Dos capture

In TSE for DOS (v2.0, v2.5e), you can use the command dos capture, via
menu 'File', 'capture DOS output'.
In the input box, type the command '4dos.com' (or '4nt.exe') to run
this executable. If you want to pass parameters, just type them after
this program name (e.g. type '4dos.com dir', to see a directory
listing).

---
---

Method 3: automated: macro to call Dos

In TSE, you can use the TSE macro command 'Dos()' to run DOS and or
Windows programs with or without parameters.
To run 4DOS (or 4NT), you can e.g. create and run the following macro:

PROC Main()
 Dos( "4dos.com dir" ) // shows a directory listing
END
