ALTERS THE DISK DIRECTORY. ╘HE NUMBER 8 IN THE PROMPT REFERS TO THE ACTIVE DISK DRIVE. ╦EY─╧╙ ╒TILITY DEFAULTS TO THE DISK DRIVE THAT WAS LAST USED,
USUALLY THE DRIVE IT WAS LOADED FROM. ╘HE CURSOR IS POSITIONED OVER THE

1) ╥┼╘╒╥╬ WILL PROVIDE A SELECTION LIST OF ALL FILES ON THE DISK.
2) ┴NY VALID ├┬═ ─╧╙ PATTERN CAN BE ENTERED TO SELECTIVELY LIST SOME

╘HE ╙ELECT AND ├ATALOG PROMPTS ACCEPT A PATTERN WITH WILDCARDS FOR FILE
