- Listing Files in NeXtMidas:
  - Listing files is a common Midas operation. NeXtMidas provides three primitives for textually or graphically listing a file:
    `DATALIST`
      A textual tool for dumping file data to the screen.
    `LIST`
      A Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) based graphical tool.
      Being replaced by the "new and improved" `LIST2`.
    `LIST2`
      A Java Swing based graphical tool.

X-Midas Users Take Note:
The `LIST2` command is similar to the `XDATALIST` in X-Midas. The NeXtMidas `DATALIST` is similar to the `DATALIST` command in X-Midas.
