FILES
Field of Application Statement for listing the fi les stored in one of the printer’s directories
to the standard OUT channel.
Syntax FILES[<sexp>][,A]
<sexp> optionally specifi es the directory (see DEVICES).
Remarks If no directory is specifi ed, the fi les in the printer’s current directory will be
listed. As default, the current directory is the printer’s permanent memory
("c:"), see CHDIR statement.
By including a reference to a memory device ("c:", "tmp:", "rom:",
"card1:", "lock:", or "storage:", see DEVICES statement), the fi les of
the specifi es directory will be returned without having to change the
current directory.
System fi les are indicated by a leading period character (.) in their
names. If an “A" fl ag is included in the statement, all fi les including
system fi les will be listed. If the “A" fl ag is omitted, all fi les, except
system fi les, will be listed.
The number of bytes for each fi le and the total number of free and used bytes
in the specifi ed directory will also be included in the list.
Example The presentation may look like this on the host screen:
FILES "c:",A
Files on c:
APPLICATION 1 STDIO
2
DIRECT 0 .setup.saved
157
496653 bytes free 160 bytes used
Ok
Note that all programs you create yourself automatically get the extension
.PRG, unless you manually give a program another extension, see SAVE.
