Getting a List of Your Files
If
you can't remember the exact name
of
a file you want to
work with, you can use the
FILELIST or LISTFILE
commands. Both these commands display a list
of
the files
you have on your disk.
Use the FILELIST command if you
want to do something (EDIT,
ERASE, RENAME, etc.) to
the files that are listed.
Use the LISTFILE command if you
only want information about the names
of
your files.
Remember that every file has a three-part label: filename,
filetype, and filemode. Generally, the files you create and
change have a filemode
of
A. This means that they are all
kept in a collection
of
files called your A-disk. The
FILELIST and LISTFILE commands display a list of all the
files
on
your A-disk. (Later you'll see how to display a list
of
files
on
other disks, such as B-disk, C-disk, etc.)
