| *BYE | Ensure that all currently open files are closed at the |
| end of a session (similar in effect to *CLOSE). | |
| *CAT (*.) | Display the filenames in the current or a specified |
| directory. For example: | |
| *CAT displays the catalogue for the current | |
| directory; | |
| *CAT $. DAVE displays the catalogue for directory | |
| DAVE (which is subordinate to the | |
| root directory. | |
| *CDIR (*CD.) | Create a subordinate directory with the specified |
| name in the current diectory. For example: | |
| *CDIR MARY creates a directory called MARY in the | |
| current directory. | |
| *CLOSE (*CL.) | Close all currently-open disc files. |
| *COMPACT (*COM.) | Reorganise the files in the directory heirarchy so |
| that spaces created by file deletions are | |
| amalgamated into larger blocks. | |
| *COPY | Copy a file from one directory to another. For |
| example: | |
| *COPY $.TEXT $.BACKUP.VIEW | |
| copies the file TEXT (in the root directory) into | |
| directory $.BACKUP. VIEW i.e. it creates a file | |
| whose full pathname is $.BACKUP-VIEW .TEXT. | |
| *CREATE || | Reserve space for a file. |
| *DELETE (*DE.) | Delete the name of the specified file. For example: |
| *DELETE IDEA deletes file IDEA from the | |
| current directory; | |
| *DELETE $.DAVE.B1 deletes file B1 from directory | |
| DAVE (itself in the root | |
| directory). | |
| A directory may be deleted only if it is empty. | |
| *DESTROY (*DES.) | Delete a group of files(using the wildcard facility). |
| *DIR | Set the current directory. |
| *DISMOUNT | Ensure that all currently-open files are closed prior |
