To open existing .TXD and .SCS tables you need to list the table or tables you want to open:

The following command starts up SuperCROSS and displays the Catalogue named ‘Census 2006’.

A Catalogue code is a single code that is used to refer to a folder somewhere in the Catalogue, rather than a path comprising several codes. All folders within the Catalogue have a unique code. If the Catalogue code typed in doesn't exist an error message displays.
