- Yes. Send the command "U0>M1" to the command channel (15).
- Depending on which type of FastLoad you have, you may need to disable

- To read the directory in this manner, all you need to do is
- OPEN 2,8,2,"$". The ",S,R" is superfluous. I think a better way to
- read the directory is to use OPEN 2,8,0,"$", since this keeps you from
- having to read the BAM just to get filenames, but it depends on what
- you're doing.
