%JR%It is easy to get a printed list of all your RAM files.  Just got to 
%JR%the Filer, press ENTER, type *//*, then []+P and ENTER again.  
%JL%Remember to type []-P and ENTER when the printer stops. ( [] is the 
square key )

%JL%If you have less than 50 files and you don't mind the clutter of 
%JR%times and dates you can't get anything easier.  If however, you would 
%JL%rather have up to 150 files on one page,just filenames with bytes, 
%JR%and be able to move the various directory contents into a tidy 
arrangement - read on.

%JR%Load LISTRAM.CLI (X021B) and STRIP.CLI (X021C) into RAM.  Any RAM for 
%JL%the first one but STRIP.CLI must go in the default RAM (the one shown 
in the Panel).

%JL%To use - go to the Filer and <>EX X021B and sit back.  When you see 
%JR%"Press <> and ESC" as the last line on your screen, do just that.  It 
%JL%cancels all CLI's but if you have gone to put the cat out or the 
%JR%kettle on they will cancel thenselves by the time you return.    ( <> 
is the diamond key ).

%JL%Now you can delete that line and start to manipulate the blocks of 
%JL%files into a tidy arrangement, adding any notes you may want.  You 
are, of course, in Pipedream.


NOTES:

1.   Don't worry if you have seen :RAM.- appear on screen.  The file 
     entry is erased by the CLI before closing.

2.   You don't have to <>KILL any instantiations before proceeding.

%JL%3.   ".*X021C" appears twice in the main CLI.  Only one is needed if 
%JL%      you have less than about 60 files.  You may need another one if 
%JR%      you have more than 140! See page 286 of "It's Magic" for an 
%JL%      explanation (though it's possible that the authors haven't 
      tried this method of overcoming the problem).

4.   It is a good idea to save the list BEFORE you stirt re-arranging 
%JR%     the contents, just in case you make a mistake in moving or 
     deleting.
