DIR + Listing Files in a Directory
     Lists files contained in a directory.
    VERSION
          PC-DOS 2.0+ (revised from 1.1)
	  MS-DOS equivalent: DIR (2.0+)
    TYPE
          Internal
    SYNTAX
	  DIR [d:][path][filename] [W]
    OPTIONS
	  [d:][path][filename]	   Specify the drive letter, path
                                   name, or file name when you 
                                   wish to obtain a directory 
                                   listing of files that are not 
                                   in the current directory.
          /P                       Tells DOS to pause when the 
                                   screen has been filled. To see 
                                   the next screen of file names, 
                                   press any key.
          /W                       Displays a directory showing 
                                   only file names in a wide 
                                   format- -five names across 
                                   each line. 
     DIR is used to display the contents of a directory as well 
as the file size in bytes, the date and time of last 
modification, the number of bytes available on the disk, and any 
subdirectories under the current directory.
    EXAMPLES
	  DIR C:
displays the contents of the current working directory on drive 
C.
	  DIR C:*.MAC
displays only those files in the current working directory of 
drive C that have the .MAC extension.
    NOTE
     If you have used the /V option with the FORMAT command, the 
first line of the DIR listing will report the name of the disk 
label. If you did not label your disk, this line reads 
	  Volume in drive x has no label
This information is not provided in early versions of the DIR 
command. The DIR command does not list hidden files that are 
created by the FORMAT and the SYS commands. The CHKDSK command 
lists these files.  The /W and /P options affect only how the 
files are displayed (wide or with pauses between screenfuls), not 
the content of what is displayed on the screen.
