RUN

Summary: instruct GENEHUNTER to take input from a file
Argument: < file name >

The "run" command instructs GENEHUNTER to take a series of commands from any text file. This file should contain lines of commands and other input just as they would be typed into GENEHUNTER interactively.

For example, you might want to use a 'run' file to save setup commands for loading your data:

    load markers test.loci
    increment step 5
    postscript on
    count recs on
    haplotype off

and could be run with the command

    npl:1> run setup.in

where 'setup.in' is the name of the file containing the 5 lines of commands above. This feature is especially useful for providing input to GENEHUNTER during long runs on data files with many pedigrees which you may wish to let run overnight or at least without any user input.
