CONTENTS (part 5)


Tanks having the same CONTENTS can be assigned a collective name by means of the GROUP command. For example,

GROUP turp=* /cont:"TURPENTINE"
GROUP `generates a report of the groups


The default tank selection can be set with a group name, which causes subsequent commands like LOAD to target the tanks in that group.

tank=turp
load 0.95
load status



load edit


The CONTENTS command will address the default tanks as well. Here is an example that features the optional COLOR parameter, which associates a color with a particular contents in DISPLAY STATUS.

CONTENTS "absinthe", 0.9 /COLOR:10
display (*) status
