Level 2 Help for TP
INP
Zero to twelve input files.
OPTIONS
Various command-line options can be given to the program. Typical options
might be a -display to redirect the display somewhere, or a -xrm to set a
resource. See the on-line help for details.
One trouble spot with TAE is when you need to quote strings. For example,
a -xrm specification has to be of the form: -xrm "resource: value" where the
double quotes are actually present in the string submitted to DCL or the
shell. Specifying such resources is unfortunately platform-dependent.
Unix will accept single quotes (usually), while VMS requires double quotes.
You can double the quotes for VMS, however, this doesn't work on Unix.
For example:
Unix:
tp /usr/local/images/io.red opt="-xrm '*background: grey'"
VMS:
tp images:io.red opt="-xrm ""*background: grey"""
