-----LIST.COM-----
by Ward Christensen
OVERVIEW:
Lists a file, with an optional starting line number.
Doesn't quit until EOF or control-C. Prints an error message
if too high a line number was specified.
USAGE:
LIST fn.ft To list the file
LIST fn.ft nnnn To start at line nnnn
LIST.COM does not abort when any key is pressed, as
does TYPE. This was done to make it usable over phone lines
where when using TYPE an unexpected glitch could stop a listing
and you would have to start all over again. LIST.COM itself
checks for control-C (to cancel) and control-S (to suspend
output).
DEPENDENCIES:
NONE
