The following examples illustrate
several
different ways you
can
use this option
.
Note: When filenames are displayed
,
names and their extend·
ers are not separated by a period.
However,
when you want to
access a
file,
you
must
use a period between the filename and its
extender.
Example
1: Lists all files from Drive 1 diskette with .SYS
extender on the screen
.
SELECT ITEl1 OR [""""'
I
FOR
NEI~U
A
I
"""'"
I
DIRECTORY--SEARCH SPEC. LIST FILE'
*. . SYS
I
Retu"n
I
Example
2: Lists
all
files
on
Drive 2 diskette on the line
printer.
SELECT ITEt'l OR [""""'
I
FOR
I1UIU
A
I
""""
I
DIRECTORY--SEARCH SPEC. LIST FILE'

Example 3:
Lists
allthree·letter
filenames from the Drive

disk·
ette that begin with
EO.
SELECT ITEt'l OR [""""'
I
FOR

""""I

Note
1: When you use the DOS 2.5 Disk Directory option to list
the files of a non·DOS
disk,
you may see a
nonsensical
lisling for
the file
directory.
Commercial adventure games and boatable
game disks are examples
of
non·DOS disks.
If
this occurs you
should turn your
computer
off,
then on
again,
with
your DOS
System Disk
in
Drive 1 before performing any further DOS func·
tions.
Note
2:
You
cannot use the DOS 2.5 Disk Directory
Option
to
view the directory of a DOS 3 disk directly. See Appendix
L,
the
COPY32,COM section
for
converting DOS 3
files,
