              BackTick (2.x/3.x ONLY) (CLI Function)


        NAME
 
            BackTick- Allows you to include the text output of 
        one command to be the input of another command.

        SYNOPSIS
            SomeCLICommand `AnotherCommand`

        DESCRIPTION
            This is a new and important feature of 2.x/3.x. 
        BackTick lets you insert the text output of one command 
        to be the input of another command. For instance, if you 
        wanted to print the contents of the Work:ESCOM directory 
        with an informative header you would type this:

            ECHO >prt: "The directories in work are:" `Dir 
        Work:ESCOM`

            It's a good idea to know where this key is, so I'll 
        tell you. It is the key right above the Tab key. The 
        unshifted version of that key is the BackTick (`), the 
        shifted version is the Tilde (~).  If you try to use the 
        parenthesis key (') your command will fail. There is a 
        difference between those two keys even though they look 
        similar on the screen.

            The backtick command always evaluates itself at the 
        time it is issued. If you wish to have the backtick 
        command evaluated after several other commands have been 
        issued you must place the asterix (*) escape character 
        before each backtick.

            For instance, lets say you want to create an alias 
        which displays the contents of the Gould:Loser directory. 
        You would type:

Alias grovel Echo "Contents of the Loser directory is: *`dir Gould:Loser*`

            Now, whenever you want to see what is in that 
        directory you merely type 'grovel' and it will be shown.  
        But, if you don't include the asterixes then any changes 
        made to the Gould:Loser directory will not be reflected. 
        You will only see what was in that directory when the 
        Alias was first made.

            With some experimentation you will find this DOS 
        function to be one of the most useful.
