A glossary entry that works as a batch file

Here is an example of glossary entry that works as a batch file to list the glossaries that are in the Glossary folder. If you were at a DOS prompt, you would type the following sequence of commands:

cd\
cd InstText
cd Glossary
dir/p

Now, you can create a glossary entry that does just that:

gloss cd\¶cd InstText¶cd Glossary¶dir/p¶

In effect, typing gloss; does what you could do in a batch file. With Instant Text working with the DOS window, this is now possible.
