## fmli

    fmli [options] files

Invoke the Form and Menu Language Interpreter and open `files`. By convention, each filename must be of the form Menu.`string`, Form.`string`, or Text.`string`, depending on the type of object being opened.

### Options

-a `afile`

  Load the list of pathname aliases specified in the file `afile`. Entries have the form `alias`=`pathname`. Once this file is loaded, you can use the shorthand notation $`alias` to refer to a long pathname.

-c `cfile`

  Load the list of command aliases specified in the file `cfile`. This file allows you to modify the default behavior of FMLI commands or create new commands.

-i `ifile`

  Load file `ifile`, which specifies startup features such as the introductory frame, banner information, screen colors, and labels.
