- !FileInfo Application
- ---------------------
-
- Dragging a file to the !FileInfo icon will issue a *FileInfo
- command for the file, displaying full information about the
- file.
-
- Some of this information can be obtained by setting the display
- option for a desktop directory viewer window to "Full Info" (or
- by use of the !Ex application), but !FileInfo provides additional
- information.
-
- The *FileInfo command is issued by the !RunA obey file which also
- includes "ECHO" commands to select screen mode 0 and to select
- paged scrolling. This avoids the problem of viewing the output in
- a desktop output window which would not be wide enough to show
- the display in convenient form.
-
- Note that RISC OS 3 includes an 'Info' option on its filer menu
- which opens up a window with information about the selected file.
