Syntax

wlist <window>

Description

List the contents of an alpha window.

Parameters

• <window>
  The window whose contents are to be listed.

Switches

• -a
  Combined with the -of switch, use append mode to add to an existing text file.

• -c
  Combined with the -of switch, if <file> exists, prompt for confirmation before it is replaced.

• -ch=<channel>
  Send the output to a channel currently open for output.

• -err
  Send the output to the error log.

• -h
  Precede each file with a header line, giving the file name (if applicable), current data and time.

• -log=<panel>
  Send the output to a log sub-panel.

• -of=<file>
  Send the output to a file.

• -os=<ident>

• -ow=<window>
  Send the output to a window, similar to a walpha command.

• -pau
  When listing to the monitor window, pause on each page full.

• -pr
