* LIST.exe version 1.05 documentation 4-26-93 *

"LIST" is, simply put, a replacement for the DOS "TYPE" command.
With "LIST" you can view multiple text files, have automatic screen paging,
and the ability to use the wildcard characters "*" and "?".

"LIST" is very simple to use. Example:

Let's say you have the three files: AUTOEXEC.BAT,
AUTOEXEC.BAK,
and AUTOEXEC.OLD.....
.....and you would like to see what is in each of these by displaying
them on the monitor screen. If you were to use the "TYPE" command,
you would have to type:

TYPE AUTOEXEC.BAT | MORE
*and* TYPE AUTOEXEC.BAK | MORE
*and* TYPE AUTOEXEC.OLD | MORE

just to display these three files (the " | MORE" in each of the above
commands assumes that the files are larger than one screen full of text
and would scroll off the top of the computer screen without pausing after
each 'page' or screen of text).

The same files viewed with "LIST" would be:

LIST AUTOEXEC.*
*or* LIST AUTOEXEC.???
*or* LIST AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.BAK AUTOEXEC.OLD

....plus you would have automatic pausing after each full screen
of text (no need to use " | MORE"), and after each page of displayed text
you have two options: 1) press the key to continue displaying
current file, or 2) press the key to stop displaying the current file
and begin displaying the next file (if there are no more files to
display, the key will exit the program and return you to the DOS
command line). As you can see above, "LIST" also accepts multiple files
from the command line.....
Using to exit from LIST will take you back to the DOS prompt.
