The application may be one large .APP file or several smaller files; usually with the .CMD file extension. The standard command file extension was .CMD in early R:BASE versions. It may also be possible that no file extension is used for the command files. In this case, it is recommended that the .RMD file extension be added to the file so it may be displayed within the "Command Files" menu within the Database Explorer's Navigator. Now, in R:BASE 11 for Windows, the new standard is .RMD as more file servers and mail servers flag the .CMD file extension as a possible virus. If you are using a custom file extension, you can add the extension to the "File Mask:" field under the "Command Files" option and they will then appear in this window.
In order to use your command files in R:BASE 11, you will need to review and update the command syntax used in the files. Based on the R:BASE version you are upgrading from, there are additional steps needed to upgrade your command syntax. The older your command files are, then the more steps will be needed. And, if you are upgrading from a DOS version, there are additional changes required as well.
With command files as the primary storage format for the code, it is recommended that you open the R:BASE Editor Help file and review the many features available to add more productivity to the conversion process.
Also, in R:BASE 11, there are several different ways to run the menus contained within the files. Please review the several Application Formats available.
