DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The mtype command  displays  the  specified  file  on  the
       screen. Unlike conventions, this command supports multiple
       arguments.

       Subdirectory names that contain the '/' or  '\'  separator
       are supported.  If you use the '\' separator or wildcards,
       you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from
       the shell.

       The  mcd  command  can be used to establish the device and
       the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise
       the default is A:\.
