DIR      Used to determine the location of files on the
         disk and to view the directory structure. Also
         provides info on file sizes and dates.

Format:  DIR [D:Path][FileSpec] [/P] [/W]

   /P    PAUSES at the end of each screen of directory
         listings instead of normal scrolling.

   /W    displays directory listing in a WIDE format
         (Five column display without the size, date,
         and time information.)

Example:                  DIR

   Displays listings of subdirectories and ALL files
   contained in the CURRENT directory in a one column
   format showing filename.ext, size, date and time.
Example:               DIR *.BAT

   Lists ONLY those files in the CURRENT directory that
   have an extension of .BAT in a one column, scrolling
   display format.

Example:            DIR \123\*.WK1 /P

   Lists ONLY those files in the \123 directory that
   have an extension of .WK1 in a one column format and
   PAUSES at the end of each screen.

Example:            DIR \123\*.WK1 /P/W

   Same as above, except display is in the five column
   format which omits size, date and time. (Useful for
   viewing directories that contain a large number of
   files.)
Example:                 DIR A:

   Lists ALL files contained on the diskette residing
   on drive A in the one column, scrolling format.

Example:         C:\> DIR D:\WP\DATA\*.TXT

   Lists ONLY those files in the \WP\DATA subdirectory
   on drive D: that have an extension of *.TXT in the
   one column, scrolling format. (Note: Command was
   issued while in the ROOT directory of drive C.)

Example:       DIR \WP\DATA\*.TXT|SORT >LPT1

   Causes a listing of ALL *.TXT files contained on
   the \WP\DATA subdirectory on the CURRENT drive to
   be REDIRECTED to your LPT1 printer, instead of
   being displayed on the monitor screen. With the
   addition of the SORT filter command, this listing
   will also be printed in alphabeltical order.

Example:   DIR \WP\DATA\*.TXT|SORT >WPTEXT.BAK

   Same as above, except the directory listing is
   placed in a file named WPTEXT.BAK on the CURRENT
   directory. This file can then either be printed
   using the COPY or PRINT commands or displayed on
   the screen using the TYPE command.


[*]   The DIR command will display listings of ANY
  drive and subdirectory, regardless of your current
  location on the drive, provided you indicate the
  desired [D:][Path] parameters in your command.

[*]   Do NOT use SORT with the /P and /W switches.
