Remarks You may display any file and are not limited to a maximum line length (as was the case with SpartaDOS 3.2). Press <CTRL-1> to stop and start the display. You may specify attributes as in the DIR command — the default attributes are "-HS". (See the DIR command for a description of the attributes.)

If you include a "/P" parameter, the TYPE command will wait for a keypress after each 23 lines of text.
