35
PLAYBACK/FILE can be only entered interactively!
37
Nesting of playback files is not possible (i.e. you cannot playback
38
a file which contains itself the command PLAYBACK).

Do not mix up the command PLAYBACK/FILE with @, @@:
42
PLAYBACK/FILE reads a file line by line and feeds them to MIDAS just
43
like terminal input. That's why a playback file can only contain
44
interactive MIDAS commands, no commands like IF or GOTO are possible.
48
PLAYBACK/FILE MID_WORK:myfile.dat
49
Feed the lines contained in the ASCII file `myfile.dat' located
50
in MID_WORK as input to MIDAS.
