TYPE COMMAND

Purpose:   Displays the contents of the specified file(s) on the screen.

Syntax:    TYPE [/M[ORE]] [/U[NWRAP]] [/B[IN]] FILELIST

Type:      Internal command

Description:
     The displayed information is not formatted, except for tabs.

/B    - displays a file as a dump,
/U    - prevents wordwrap at the screen board.
/M    - displays data one screen at a time.

FILELIST ::= [parms]
             {
             [d:][path]file_name[.ext] |
             (FILELIST[,|+| ]...)      |
             @reference_file
             }

FILELIST  - defines the files to be typed.

file_name      - may contain wild card symbols ("?" and "*").
reference_file - is the name of a text file containing the command's
                 parameters. It should be specified explicitly.
parms          - are any combination of the control parameters for
                 FILELIST or DIRLIST (see INTERNAL DOS COMMAND ARGUMENTS
                 for detailed description).

Notes:
1. To print the displayed file use the redirection of the standard output
   printing device.
2. Printing is completed once the EOF symbol (ASCII 26) has been read from
   the input file; this doesn't apply for the binary dump mode (/BIN
   switch).

Examples:

1.     A>type /b mess

displays the MESS file's contents in binary form

--------  Contents of MESS
00000000: 48 65 6C 6C 6F 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 21 0D 0A 1A     Hello World!...

     The first line contains the filename, while all the others contain
information from the file in the following format: hexadecimal displacement
relative to the beginning of the file; hexadecimal values of the 16 bytes;
the same bytes but represented as ASCII symbols (symbols lying outside the
32-127 range are substituted with dots).
