If you want to compile a program inside the M editor using the
following command, textarg should contain the full compile line as
typed at the DOS prompt:
Arg Arg textarg ArgCompile
The following is an example:
cl /Zi /Od demo.for
If textarg contains just the name of the program (demo), the hard disk
light will come on and the message "compilation complete" will appear
on the bottom of the screen even though demo.for was not compiled.
If textarg contains the full program name (demo.for), your computer
hangs if you press SHIFT+F3. Sometimes, there will be lost clusters
and allocation errors as reported by chkdsk.
This problem was not encountered under OS/2.
