Re: st: Suppress -browse- when using -do- to execute commandsfrom afile

["Sergiy Radyakin" <Radyakin@aoek.uni-hannover.de>]

You can replace -browse- by a call of a new command like

-conditional_browse-

Define it as an ado-file, or in the same file.
Inside you can branch depending, say on a value of a certain global 
FLAG-variable defined at the beginning of your program or changed depending 
on iterations, etc.
