- Get yourself a copy of 4OS2. This is a replacement shell for CMD.EXE
- and will give you *many* nice features, including a LIST command. I'm
- pretty sure they have it at the ftp-os2.nmsu.edu site, somewhere under
- /pub/os2/2.0/...
-
- It is nearly identical in function to the 4DOS shell for MS-DOS, if
- you're familiar with that. 4DOS also works in OS/2 DOS sessions. I
- don't think anyone who spends time at the command line should be
- without these.
-
- Good luck!
