your logon group. You may select the file(s) to be listed by using the fully or
partly qualified form for fileset:

You may use the @ to specify zero or more alphanumeric characters or, if
used by itself, to denote all the members of a set. You may use the symbol #
to specify one numeric character and the symbol ? to specify one
alphanumeric character. The # and ? wildcard characters count toward the
eight character limit for group, account, and file names.
listlevel Specifies the amount and format of information to display for the file(s)
you select. The default is 0, which displays only the file name. The
