Filer

DISPLAYING FILE CONTENTS IN FILER

You can display the contents of any file by going into FILER, moving the cursor to that file and pressing (ENTER). The file appears on the screen, where you're able to cursor up and down to read it, but not able to make changes in the file.

A text file that was created with MEMO will appear the way you see it in MEMO. PHONE, APPT, 1-2-3 and other specially formatted files will display a lot of funny faces and strange looking control characters that the programs use to identify types and lengths of fields, and records. Some files, such as .EXE, .COM, .EXM and .ENV files will display nothing but funny faces and unusual characters.
