FDIRECTORY monitor command That is, any default path currently defined is not used. A directory path specified as a single "\" character indicates that the top-level directory is to be accessed. The absence of a leading "\" usually indicates that the path is to be appended to the current default path. However, if the "unit" specified is different from the current default unit, the directory path is assumed to start at the top-level directory-even if no leading "\" is specified. 4. An optional file name, with one to eight characters. 5. A period character ("."). This can be omitted if no extension is entered.

However, omitting the period is equivalent to specifying "*" for the file extension (see below). 6. An optional file extension, with up to three characters. File names and extensions can include "wildcard" characters (asterisks, "*"). A wildcard character within a file name or extension indicates that any character should be accepted in that position. A wildcard character at the end of a file name or extension indicates that any trailing characters are acceptable. Wildcard characters cannot be used in specifications of directory paths.

The file can be loaded into the system memory, and the programs contained in the file can be executed and displayed.
