The TYPE Command
Syntax: TYPE {filespec {[PAGE]|[NO PAGE]}}
Explanation: The TYPE command displays the contents of an ASCII character file
on your screen. The PAGE option displays the console listing in paged
mode, which means that the console listing stops automatically after
listing n lines of text, where n is usually the system default of 24 lines
per page. (See the DEVICE command to set n to a different value.)
Press any character to continue listing another n lines of text. Press
CTRL-C to exit back to the system. PAGE is the default mode.
The NO PAGE option displays the console listing continuously.
If you do not enter a file specification in the TYPE command the system
prompts for a filename with the message:
Enter filename :
Respond with the filespec of the file you want listed.
Tab characters occurring in the file named by the file specification are
expanded to every eighth column position of your screen.
At any time during the display, you can interrupt the listing by pressing
CTRL-S. Press CTRL-Q to resume the listing.
Press CTRL-C to exit back to the system.
Make sure the file specification identifies a file containing character
data.
If the file named by the file specification is not present on the specified
drive, TYPE displays the following message on your screen:
No File
