CFN3 File System

RECORD without any options creates the specified file or appends to it if it
already exists. RECORD;I creates the specified file or overwrites it if it already
exists. The command will prompt for the filename and each line of data to be
entered in the file.
To terminate the RECORD command, type CTRL-C or a period (.) by itself at
the beginning of a line, right after the DATA? prompt. Prompt (^C) will be
displayed in the DATA? line.

How to Print the Contents of Files

Use the command TYPE or TY to print the contents of a file. You must specify
the name of the file on the command line (the command line is the line starting
with the name of the current drive and an asterisk; for example, P*); you will
not be prompted for the name of the file.
