Explanation: The DIR and DIRSYS commands display the names of files cataloged
in the directory of an on-line disk. The DIR command lists the names
of files in the current user number that have the Directory (DIR) attribute.
DIR accepts wildcards in the file specification. You can abbreviate
the DIRSYS command to DIRS.
The DIRSYS command displays the names of files in the current user
number that have the System (SYS) attribute. Although you can read
System (SYS) files that are stored in user 0 from any other user number
on the same drive, DIRSYS only displays user 0 files if the current user
number is 0. DIRSYS accepts wildcards in the file specification.
If you omit the drive and file specifications, the DIR command displays
the names of all files with the DIR attribute on the default drive for the
current user number. Similarly, DIRSYS displays all the SYS files.
