     NAME
            Dir - Pretty display of files and directories.

     SYNOPSIS
            DIR Dir OPT [ADFHIS] SIZE INTER HILITE FILES DIRS ALL

     DESCRIPTION
            Dir by itself displays any files and directories in 
        the current directory.  By default, Dir will display any 
        subdirectories, one per line, and then any files, in two 
        columns, in sorted order.  Directories are followed by 
        the string "(dir)".

            You can specify an alternate directory to display as 
        an argument, and you may also use wildcards.  If you use 
        wildcards, Dir will display all files that match that 
        wildcard pattern.  If it encounters a directory during 
        the course of its search for matching patterns, it will 
        display the name of the directory, and also its contents.

     OPTIONS
          OPT 
            This flag along with a single letter can represent 
        the option you desire, or you may use the clearer keyword 
        equivalents supplied.  The options and their keyword 
        equivalents are described below:

		  SIZE or OPT S
            This ARP option displays the names of the files and 
        their sizes in two columns on the display device.  If a 
        directory is encountered, it is identified as usual with 
        a "(dir)".

          HILITE or OPT H
            This ARP option enables pretty printing of Dirs 
        output.  All directory names will be displayed in inverse 
        video.

          FILES or OPT F
            This displays only files, any directories found will 
        will not be displayed.

          DIRS or OPT D
            This displays only directories, any files found will 
        not be displayed.

          ALL or Opt A
            This option displays the complete contents of that 
        branch of the directory tree.  As Dir descends a level, 
        the indentation is increased to make the organization of 
        the disk clearer to the eye.  You may use some of the 
        other options or keywords along with ALL to generate the 
        display you need.

          INTER or OPT I
            This allows interactive file browsing through a 
        directory or a disk.  Using this option, you will be 
        presented with a file or directory name, followed by a 
        question mark. You can find out what additional options 
        are available to you at this point by typing another 
        question mark '?', and pressing return.  These are:

          B=BACK
            Moves backwards, up the directory tree.  If you are 
        at the top, this will exit the listing.

          DEL=DELETE
            This will delete the current file.

          E=ENTER
            This will enter a directory.  Note that you must be 
        at a directory entry in order for this option to be 
        valid.

          Q=QUIT
            This will quit Dir.

          T=TYPE
            This will type the current file.

          C=COM
            This takes any command as an argument, and sends it 
        to a subshell.  Any shell command can be used here, 
        including the IO Redirection operators (<, >, and >>).  
        If you do not specify a command as an argument, you will 
        be prompted for one.

     EXAMPLES
            1. To get a listing of all directories on drive DF1:

             DIR DF1: ALL DIRS
             or
             DIR DF1: OPT AD

            2. To get a listing of all directories and files and 
        the sizes of the files on drive df0:, as well as 
        displaying the directories in inverse video do:

             DIR DF1: ALL SIZES HILITE
             or
             DF1: OPT ASH
