Question:

What is a Run File?

Answer:

The Run File is a very simple idea.  It is a text file which contains
commands.  Whatever you would type directly, you can put in a Run File.
For example, make a file named TEST.RF which contains the following:

  READ FV.GF
  REPORT FV.PF
  HS 5, 6, 7
  QUIT

Then at the DOS prompt enter,

  GHS TEST.RF

You can do the same thing with Part Maker.  The pattern is as follows:

  READ hull.gf
  CREATE tank1
  ...
  /
  CREATE tank2
  ...
  /
  ...
  DISPLAY
  WRITE complete.gf
  QUIT

Put commands like these on a file named TEST.PM, then at the DOS prompt
enter,

  PM TEST.PM
