ERA - Will display the names of all files ERAsed.
REN - If the new file already exists, you will be asked if it should be deleted bef ore
performing the REName.
TYPE - The file will be displayed on the console a screen (24 lines) at a time, and wait for a
character from the console before scrolling to the next screen. This makes searching for
something in a file much easier, since you needn't use CTL-S to stop the scrolling.
SAVE - The size of the area to be SAVEd can be optionally specified in CP/M sectors (128
bytes) rather than in pages (256 bytes). In addition, if the specified file already exists, you will be
asked if it should be deleted before performing the SAVE.
USER - The current user number is always displayed in the system prompt following the drive
identifier.
Examples:
ERA B:•.BAK - will cause ALL files with the BAK extension on drive B: to be erased. The
name of each file will be displayed on the console in DIR format as it is ERAsed.
REN C:OLDFILE.NEW=C:NEWFILE.OLD - will cause the file NEWFILE.OLD on drive C: to be renamed
to OLDFILE.NEW. If the file OLDFILE.NEW already exists on drive C:, you will see the message:

renaming NEWFILE.OLD to OLDFILE.NEW.
TYPE TXTFILE.TXT - will cause the file TXTFILE.TXT to be display a page at a time on the
console. It will wait for a character from the console before going to the next page.

to the system LST: device.

default user is normally 0.

certain assembly language debugging operations.
