List Files - Files Not Shown In Long Document
DocumentID: 607309
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 1:32:26 PM

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

Problem

Solutions: Some file formats that will not display in List files with Long Document functioning are listed below:
WP 4.2,
DOS or ASCII text,
PlanPerfect,
DataPerfect macro files,
printer files etc
Program files or any documents that cannot be retrieved into WordPerfect (e.g., *.EXE, *.COM, *.STY, *.WPM.)

The files will display if List Files is set to Short Display.

WordPerfect must read a portion of each file in the directory before displaying it in long format. In order for the files to appear while in long form they must be "prefixed" files (e.g., files saved in WP 5.x format). This is documented on page 381 of the reference manual under the "File List" section, Paragraph 3.

Using Long File display will allow users to see only WP documents in List Files, then move, copy, delete, etc., the files as they desire.
