Hmmm, I guess not, other than:
type c:\ckermit\ckermit.kdd
or (more generally):
type \m(_dialdir) ; This variable holds the name of the dialing directory.
You could add a macro definition for this to your CKERMOD.INI file,
something like:
define numbers type \m(_dialdir)
or something fancier, e.g. to list all entries that match a particular
string. But see below about the services directory.

You can write script programs to do whatever you want. Script programming
can't be explained in a short message - you should read the manual; three
chapters of it cover script programming.

There is a kind of "higher level" dialing directory, called the services
directory, that does this for you automatically. The mechanics are explained
in complete detail in the manual, and from a user standpoint also in the
CKERMIT.INF file.

Again, all explained in the manual. About performance, you should also
look at the FAQ:
