**.EXPLORE \{<directory>\}**

EXPLORE launches Windows Explorer for a specified directory location.

If no arguments are specified, it explores the current directory. Directory format may be native Windows (relative or absolute), or AMOS-style. Examples:

.EXPLORE %MIAME%



.EXPLORE SYS:



.EXPLORE DSK0:\[7,6\]



.EXPLORE DSK0:2,2



.EXPLORE \\\\SERVER\\PATH



.EXPLORE ..\\..\\BIN



.EXPLORE



In the Unix/ATE environment, the directory must be PC native spec and any environment variables are evaluated relative to the ATE client.
