Finding Files in the List: If your list takes up only one
screen, it's easy to find any file at a glance. But what if you
have many files, and the list takes up more than one screen?
There are several ways to find files in your list.
Scrolling through the List: If the list takes up more than one
screen, you use PF keys to "scroll" through it. PF7 scrolls
backward one full screen. PF8 scrolls forward one full
screen. By pressing these keys repeatedly, you can scroll
through the list for as many screens as you want.
Rearranging the List: The files in the list are arranged by
date and time, newest to oldest. The date and time refer to
the last time a file was changed (or if it was never changed,
when it was created). If you'd like the list arranged in a
different way, you can use these PF keys:
PFI
arranges files alphabetically by filename.
PF4
arranges files by filetype.
PFS
arranges by date, newest to oldest. This is how the list is
arranged initially. You might use this key if you
rearranged the list, and want to put it back to its original
order.
PF6
arranges by size, biggest to smallest.
Using the LOCATE Command: If you know a filename
and/ or filetype, you can use the XEDIT command LOCATE
to find it quickly. This method is faster than scrolling
through the screens, looking for a certain file. You enter a
LOCATE command on the command line at the bottom of
the screen, next to the large arrow. Then press the ENTER
key.
For example:
