The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Users can follow the steps below to create a document listing all of the files in a certain directory:

1.      Go to DOS (through Ctrl-F1 or Exit)
2.      Change to the desired directory (use the CD command)
3.      Type DIR > FILENAME.EXT where FILENAME.EXT is any legal DOS filename (the directory listing goes to FILENAME.EXT as ASCII text)
4.      Return to WordPerfect and retrieve FILENAME.EXT

WordPerfect will convert FILENAME.EXT from ASCII to WP as the file is retrieved. The text can then be edited, extracted, placed in columns, printed, or saved as a standard WP document.
