Move to the partial question/answer user interface by typing:
[8]Xronos> cui p Current user interface is : partial question/answerThe partial question/answer user interface is designed to avoid specifying the input filename(s) everytime a XRONOS application is run. Rather input filenames are entered and stored using the data command. The same files used in the previous section are specified by typing:

C filename 2 +options[.rbf]=> [10]Xronos>Note that in this way files c2030.rbf, a2030.rbf and b2030.rbf have been associated to SERIES A, B and C, respectively. Equivalently, all filenames could have been entered from the XRONOS prompt as follows:
[10]Xronos> data c2030,,a2030,,b2030Note that a single comma separates input files from the same series, a double comma input files from different series. The current input filename setup is checked by typing:
[11]Xronos> data/show Series A : file 1 : C2030 Series B : file 1 : A2030 Series C : file 1 : B2030In order to repeat the lc1 examples in the previous section by using the partial question/answer user interface, you should type:
[12]Xronos> lc1 bBy doing this the input file(s) which is the data command associated with SERIES B (i.e. a2030.rbf) will be used as input files for lc1 (i.e. SERIES 1)

Similarly, in order to repeat the psd examples in the previous section type:
[13]Xronos> psd aor, more simply:
[14]Xronos> psdBy doing this the input file(s) which the data command associated with SERIES A (i.e. c2030.rbf) will be used as input file(s) for psd (i.e. SERIES 1); after that you can reply to individual questions as in the question/answer user interface.
In order to repeat the lc2 examples of the previous section:
[15]Xronos> lc2 b cBy doing this the input file(s) associated to SERIES B and SERIES C with the data command (i.e. a2030.rbf and b2030.rbf, respectively) will be used as the soft (i.e. SERIES 1) and hard (i.e. SERIES 2) input files for lc2, respectively.
