Accessing the CLI Script Environment

1. In the CLI, enter the script environment using the script command:

   dory:> script
   ("." to run)> 

2. At the script environment prompt, you can input your script, finally entering "." alone on a line to execute it:

   dory:> script
   ("." to run)> for (i = 10; i > 0; i--)
   ("." to run)>    printf("%d... ", i);
   ("." to run)> printf("Blastoff!\n");
   ("." to run)> .
   10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Blastoff!

3. If your script is a single line, you can simply provide it as an argument to the script command, making for an easy way to explore scripting:

   dory:> script print("It is now " + new Date())
   It is now Tue Oct 14 2009 05:33:01 GMT+0000 (UTC)
