This example catalogs the directory which is superior to the current working directory:
CAT " .. "
If you were located in the MARK directory, for example, this command would catalog
the USERS directory (located above MARK in the above diagram).
Files Not on the Default Volume
If the file is not on the default volume, then you must include the volume specifier. The
volume specifier is the information on the label which you should have affixed to each of
your mass storage volumes during installation. (If not, see the "Verifying and Labeling
Peripherals" chapter in Installing and Maintaining the BASIC System manual.
