NAME
fbez - run FirstBase EZ-Instructional menu shell
SYNOPSIS
fbez
DESCRIPTION
Fbez
runs the
FirstBase EZ-Instructional
menu shell. This menu provides
the entry point to all of the FirstBase EZ-Instructional submenus.
Fbez
provides an easily learned, fill-in-the-blanks method of running
tools from the
FirstBase.
In addition, a description of the selected tool, usage notes and
a list of valid options for the tool are
given, along with an explanation of what each option does.
Before a FirstBase tool is actually run, the command is displayed
as entered near
the bottom of the screen. In this way, FirstBase commands are easily
learned for running from a UNIX prompt, or for inclusion in a shell script or
menu.
FirstBase
tools accessed through
fbez
will check for the existence of all specified files. This prevents errors
due to the misspelling of file names, or non-existing files.
