What is the fastest way to build a COMMAND.DAT file?

If you are already familiar with the basic structure of DIFFRACT, use the sub-directory (located in DIFFRACT’s home directory) to create your own COMMAND.DAT files. To avoid accidental deletion or modification of the files contained in , copy the text files TEMPLATE.DAT and COMMAND.DAT to another (working) sub-directory, then open both files inside your working subdirectory and place them side by side on the monitor. Copy desired command blocks from TEMPLATE.DAT and paste them (in a logical order) onto the empty COMMAND.DAT file. Proceed to modify the various command parameters until the elements of your system are properly represented. When all the elements of the system are in place, you may want to copy one or more $commands to appropriate locations within the completed COMMAND.DAT file. These $commands enable the creation of loops (or other programming constructs) for the purpose of repeating a given simulation with different sets of parameters.
