(edited 5-Jun) (Using RT--11 Features\FEAT_PART) (<reference>(feat_part)\<reference>(feat_part\text)) <p> <ABSTRACT> <reference>(feat_part) describes RT--11 features available under all distributed monitors. It is divided into the following chapters. <list>(unnumbered) <le> <reference>(int_ld_chap\full), describes using the logical disk (LD) utility. You can use the distributed LD to divide part of a large disk into smaller logical disks. Depending on the size of your hard disk, each of the logical disks can contain up to 64K blocks. <le> <reference>(int_sl_chap\full), describes using the single-line (SL) editor. You use SL to edit your command line and recall previous commands. Using SL can save you time because SL streamlines the command-issuing process. <le> <reference>(int_vm_chap\full), describes creating and using the virtual memory (VM) device as your system device. Using VM as your system device can greatly increase the performance of your system. <le> <reference>(int_comm_chap\full), describes using the communications facilities available with RT--11. Those facilities include the VTCOM and TRANSF utilities. You use VTCOM to initiate and maintain communications with another host processor by using a modem or serial line. That processor can be non-DIGITAL. You can install and run TRANSF from a DIGITAL host PDP--11 or VAX processor and perform optimized file transfers between your processor running RT--11 and the host processor running RT--11, RSX--11, or VMS. TRANSF can transfer any type of file and performs complete error checking. <le> <reference>(int_defcom_chap\full), describes defining your own commands by creating new commands and redefining existing commands. Also described is a method you can use to change the meaning of an existing command by removing support for it and then defining it as a new command. <le> <reference>(int_bup_chap\full), describes the facilities distributed with RT--11 you can use to back up your data. Backing-up data to diskettes, hard disks, and magtapes is explained. <le> <reference>(int_indir_chap\full), describes creating, running, and nesting indirect command files. A comparison with BATCH and IND is provided. <ENDLIST> <p> Chapter summaries are not provided in this part because of the amount and complexity of the information presented in each chapter. <endabstract> <endpart_page>
