  • The LIST Command:
    • LIST was the original command used to graphically list a file in NeXtMidas.
    • The LIST command has a number of limitations:
      • It does not support large files or pipes.
      • It does not support file modification.
      • It does not support auto-sorting (sorting can be done from within a macro).
      • It does not support table templates.
    • The LIST2 command was added in NeXtMidas 2.2.0 as a replacement for LIST.
      • LIST2 solves many of the limitations of LIST.
      • LIST2 has a /LEGACY mode that makes LIST2 behave similar to LIST.
      • LIST is slowly being deprecated and is being replaced by LIST2.
