Displays the contents of the specified file. TYPE makes only one
change to the file's format. It expands tabs to spaces consistent
with a tab stop at every eighth column.
Parameters
pathname is the name of the file to list.
Notes and Suggestions
• A display of binary files sends control characters (such as
bells, form feeds, and escape sequences) to the standard out-
put device.
• Use TYPE to see if you need to change a file. If so, you can
use EDLIN to make the change. (See Part 3 for information
on EDLIN).
Examples

I

current drive.
type b:carfile
I
ENTER
