32.4.2 Executing system commands before and after conversion

Suppose you always check files out of a source-control system before you convert them, and check them back in afterward; or suppose you always copy generated files to multiple locations after conversion. To have Mif2Go perform any such chore automatically, you can assign an operating-system command (or a Mif2Go macro that consists of a series of operating-system commands) to a keyword in the configuration file. 

Note:

When you use system commands, exit and restart FrameMaker between projects; otherwise, some internal variables might not be re-initialized.
