Subcommands (Alphabetical)
| [dir.#] | File directory number. | Specifies the file directory number(s) that you want to view. If you want to view multiple file directories, enter each directory number separated by either a SPACE or a ; character. |
| D | Flag the files found for download. | Any files that are listed to the screen will also be flagged for download. No warning is given if you exceed the batch file limit.
