This command lists files that exist on the RAM disk and on the Flash disk. <filename string> may contain the * and ? wildcard characters to refine the list. The character * signifies any combination of letters, and the ? character signifies any letter.An empty filename string will evoke a full list of files.
The RAM disk is for used to store internal files (to which you do not have access), and stores the record data files (*.rec). The Flash disk stores the user programs (*.prg) and CAM files (*.cam). The contents of the Flash disk are preserved at power off, but the contents of the RAM disk are lost.
