- File function L - List Files or Directories
-
- This command will display the directories or categories of files which are
- available for downloading from RBBS-PC.
-
- The "L" command can also be used along with a directory name (or number) to
- display the list of files in that directory (e.g., "L GAMES". A brief
- description, the size in bytes, and the date the file was posted on the
- system accompanies each file name.
-
- After issuing an "L" command you can press ENTER to see a list of what
- categories are available, or specify what categories that you want to see.
- You can also enter "L <directory name>" to see a list of files in that
- category. For example, "L WORDPR" (or "L 17") might display the names and
- descriptions of files in the "WORDPR" (word processor) directory.
-
- TIPS:
- 1. You can save time and keystrokes by stacking your requests. For
- instance, "L 1 17 99" will list all of the files in directories 1, 17,
- and 99.
-
- 2. You can temporarily suspend output to your screen after initiating the
- "L" command by pressing "Control-S". The "Control-X" or "Control-K"
- commands will terminate the output to the screen and return you to the
- Files Menu.
-
- 3. "L U" will always list the upload directory, if it is available to you.
- And "L A" will list all directories.
