+---ACTIVATION COMMANDS---
+
+ACT <indev>,<outdev>
+	Reads in a directory and sets up an optional output directory.
+Only if a directory is active are "*" file names legal.
+
+MFD <directories>
+	Read in copy of MFD, including only those which match at least
+one of the arguments given.  If none are given, just read in the whole
+MFD.  The result is printed.  The MFD which results is used by the
+FIND command (qv).
+
+---SYSTEM DIRECTORY PARAMETERS---
+
+ALLOC <allocn>,<drive#>
+	Set the allocation and drive number allocated on for the
+active directory.  If no argument is given, print the current
+status of the directory.  If the directory is already allocated,
+you may default the second argument.
+
+QUOTA <quota>
+	Set the quota of the active directory to the argument.
+If no argument, print current directory status.
+
+---SYSTEM FILE PARAMETERS---
+
+AUTHOR <file>,<author>
+	Set the author field associated with matching files.
+
+CDUMPB <files>
+	Clear the "Dumped" bit of all matching files.  This bit being
+off is indicated by the presence of "!" next to the date on the LISTF
+line for a file.  Files whose "Dumped" bit is zero will be dumped at
+the next incremental dump.
+
+CREAPB <files>
+	Clear the "Do not reap" bit of matching files.  This bit being
+cleared is indicated in the LISTF line for a file by the absence of a
+"$" to the left of the creation date.
+
+SDUMPB <file>
+	Set the "Dumped" bit of all matching files.  This bit being
+set is indicated by the absence of "!" next to the date on the LISTF
+line for a file.
+
+SREAPB <files>
+	Set the "Do not reap" bit of matching files.  This bit being
+set is indicated in the LISTF line for a file by the presence of a "$"
+to the left of the creation date.  Files whose "Reap" bit is set will
+not be reaped by the Gr*m F*le R**per.
+
+---DIRED MODES---
+
+AUTO
+	Toggle state (initially off) of automatic file typeout.  If on,
+first few lines of each file will be typed as it becomes one pointed at.
+
+CHECK
+	Toggle state of checksumming.  Normal mode is no checksum.
+
+QUICK
+	Print short file-names instead of LISTF type lines.
+
+QUIET
+	Toggle files-found printing on commands like ERASE.
+
+SLOW
+	Print LISTF lines instead of just names:  normal mode on
+display consoles.
+
+STATUS
+	Print current input device, output device, file, and safety
+level.
+
+TRAVEL
+	Toggle direction of travel, initially least to greatest.
+
+---MOVEMENT IN THE ACTIVE DIRECTORY---
+
+BACK
+	Go to previous file in active directory in current direction
+of travel.
+
+END
+	Go to end of active directory, relative to current direction
+of travel.
+
+JUMP <file>
+	Make the current file the file given.
+
+NEXT
+	Go to next file in active directory, in current direction of
+travel.
+
+TOP
+	Go to top of active directory, relative to current direction
+of travel.
+
+---FILE COPY COMMANDS---
+
+COPY <infile>,<outfile>
+	Copy a file, default input is current file, output is onto
+current output device.  Sets output device.
+
+COPYD <infile>,<outfile>
+	COPYD is exactly like COPY, except that the creation and reference dates of
+the new file will be the same as that of the old file.
+
+MOVE <infile>,<outfile>
+	MOVE is the ultimate version of a copier.  It attempts to
+move the file "somewhere" else.  If <outfile> is the same DEV:SNM;
+as <infile>, MOVE will ignore links and even preserve the state of the
+Author, Dump and Reap bits.  If <outfile> is a different DEV:SNM;, the
+only thing that will not be preserved is the Dump bit (it will be
+cleared).
+	Note that as in the "SAVE" command, the source is deleted, and
+you will not be asked to confirm.
+	For the purposes of this command, DKn: is "the same as" DSK:.
+
+SAVE <infile>,<outfile>
+	SAVE is similar to COPY, except that after the file is copied
+to the output directory, the old copy is deleted.
+
+SAVED <infile>,<outfile>
+	SAVED is similar to SAVE, but the creation date of the old file
+is preserved on output.
+
+---DELETION---
+
+DELETE <file>
+	Delete all files matching argument from active directory,
+(default current file) or single file if none active.
+
+---ACTIVE DIRECTORY ORDERING AND SUBSETTING---
+
+DIR <file>
+	Simulates DIR device, but works on directory in core.
+
+ERASE <file>
+	Remove from in-core list of active directory all files which
+match argument.  If no argument, remove current file.
+
+FIND <device>,<directories>
+	Reads in files to search for, and searches entire M.F.D.
+for them, printing out results as they occur.  The optional first
+argument enables the user to specify an alternate device (for example,
+DIR:ONLY LINKS) that will be used instead of DSK:.FILE. (DIR) to get
+the directories to search.
+	The remaining arguments on the command line may be any number
+of directory names, with *'s allowed, which will be the directories to
+search.  This is the same as for the MFD command.
+
+KEEP <file>
+	ERASE all files from active directory other than those which
+match argument.
+
+SHOW <file1>,<file2>
+	Print names of all files matching first argument, with all
+matching second marked.  If only one argument given, print active files
+with matching files marked.
+
+VECTOR <file>
+	Print all filenames in active directory matching argument, or
+all files if no argument.
+
+---HELP AND INFORMATION---
+
+HELP <command>
+	Print help message for a given command, or if no argument,
+print .INFO.;DIRED ORDER.
+
+---LINKING---
+
+LINK <file1>,<file2>
+	Create links to all files which match second argument from
+files on device given in first argument.  If only one argument, link
+it to current file.
+
+---LISTF AND PRINT---
+
+LISTF <dir>
+	Print directory of DEV:SNM;.
+
+PRINT <file>
+	Print a file, default the current file.
+
+T <n>
+	Type N lines further into a file.
+
+TYPE <n>
+	Type first N lines of a file.
+
+WHO
+	Do LISTF TTY:.
+
+---LEAVE DIRED---
+
+QUIT
+	Kill the DIRED.
+
+VALRET <string>
+	Valret the string to DIRED's superior.
+
+---RENAME---
+
+RENAME <file1>,<file2>
+	RENAME first argument to second, if two arguments, or current
+file to argument if only one given.  If a directory is active, star
+matching may be used to rename many files at once.
+
+---SAFETY MODES---
+
+SAFE
+	Set normal safety mode:  Confirm deletion commands, check for
+inadvertent deletion during other commands.
+
+SORRY
+	Set un-safe mode:  Only confirm attempt to delete entire active
+directory.
+
+SUPER
+	Set very safe mode:  Confirm each action taken for all
+commands.
+
+---SCRIPTING---
+
+SCREND
+	Close the currently open script file.

+DIRED 161	2/6/76
+
+DIRED now interprets its JCL line as the argument to an ACT command.
+In other words, :DIRED FOO; will start up DIRED with the FOO directory
+activated.  No JCL argument will, as before, start DIRED with your
+own directory active.
+
+DIRED 160	1/20/76
+
+NDIRED ==> DIRED, etc.
+
+NDIRED 158	1/8/76
+
+SCRIPT and SCREND.  Open and close a script file.  ^B and ^E begin
+and end scripting respectively, without closing the script file.
+
+NDIRED 150	12/11/75 
+
+XFILE now exists!  Takes a file spec and executes it as DIRED commands.
+You may xfile inside xfiles, up to 8 levels deep.  ^G or ^S at any
+time aborts all currently open xfiles.  Any questions given STILL expect
+answers from the TTY.  If you really object to this, complain to me.
+
+NDIRED now has all the commands that DIRED has.  This implies that soon
+(first of the year?) DIRED will be replaced by NDIRED.
+
+DIRED 130	7/26/74
+
+This version contains a new command called "BC".  It is identical
+to the "B" (or "BACKUP" or "COPY") command, except that the copy(s)
+created will have the same creation date as the original file(s).
+
+DIRED 129	7/8/74
+
+This version of DIRED understands Marc Seriff's new DIR: device.  If
+you give DIR: as the device on an ACTIVATE command to DIRED, only the
+appropriate subset or sort of the directory will be activated.  See
+the file .INFO.;DIR RECENT for more info on the DIR device.  (Note:  The DIR
+device currently only works on ITSs with the new JOB-BOJ code, like
+>886).
+
+A bug that occured when an empty directory is activated has been fixed.
+
+DIRED 128	6/20/74
+
+This version of DIRED prints the full "listf-style" line whenever
+a new file is moved to (with a few additions!).  Code is from
+WJL's FIND program, and was added by him.
