    OPTIONS
	  [d:][path]filename	   Specifies the name and
                                   location of the file whose 
                                   contents are to be displayed.
     The TYPE command is used to view the contents of a file.
    EXAMPLE
	  TYPE NOVRPT.TXT
displays the contents of the file NOVRPT.TXT on the screen.
    NOTE
     The TYPE command continuously scrolls the file on the screen 
if it is longer than one screenful. To freeze the text on the 
screen, press Ctrl-Num Lock. To stop the TYPE command from 
presenting more of the file's contents on the screen, press Ctrl-
C. Data will be unformatted except for standard paragraph indents 
and eight-character tabs. If you use the TYPE command to view 
binary files, program files, or files that contain control codes, 
their contents may be meaningless on the screen. A file that is 
in ASCII format is readable on the screen when the TYPE command 
is used.
