DIRECTORY
List all files on the disk.
DIRECTORY D1, U9, "WORK"
Lists the file on disk drive unit 9 (8 is default), drive 1, named
WORK.
DIRECTORY "AB"
Lists all files starting with the letters "AB", like ABOVE, ABOARD,
etc.
DIRECTORY D0, "FILE ?.BAK"
The ? is a wild-card that matches any single character in that
position: FILE 1.BAK, FILE 2.BAK, FILE 3.BAK all match the string.
NOTES
The DIRECTORY command cannot be used to print a hard copy. You must load
the disk directory (destroying the program currently in memory) to do
that.
To print out the DIRECTORY of drive 0, unit 8, use the following:
LOAD"$0",8
OPEN4,4:CMD4:LIST
PRINT#4:CLOSE4
