070701 - Follow up ref SDS 4 0000, ref SDS 3 0000.
070702 -
070703 - Made c: sd 10 the default directory when the File Access menu is
070704 - opened. ref SDS 0 3310
070705 -
070706 - Added mouse support for File Access menu. ref SDS 0 2842
070707 -
070708 - Created feature for the DIR command to get a list of directories and
070709 - files in the root directory without listing every subdirectory and
070710 - file on the system. ref SDS 0 3762
070711 -
070712 - These enhancements seem to have used the extra compile segment space
070713 - provided by consolidation to justify and other editing functions
070714 - reported on 980724, so went back and modified the justify work again
070715 - to bring the code within compile segments limits. ref SDS 5 0000
070716 -
070717 -     [On 990613 improved File Access again. ref SDS 6 0001]

071104 - Line 1250, ref OF 3 2951, -entry 58 and -entry 587, added code to
071105 - make c: sd 10 the default directory so it is easy to get a list of
071106 - files in the current directory.
071107 -
071108 - Line 1320, ref OF 3 8883, -label Microq, added function for tab key

071115 -
071116 - Line 1260, ref OF 3 2952, -entry 58, changed the design of the File
071117 - Access menu so that F1 = Open File is at the top of the file, rather
071118 - than at the bottom.  Eliminated Ctrl F10 as Help, since it is a
071119 - standard command.
071120 -
071121 - Shifted F3 = Change Drive from center to left margin.
071122 -
071123 - Changed F5 = Sort Date, so F4 now does this.
071124 -
071125 - Line 1520, ref OF 3 5560, -entry 588 changed this to position the
071126 - cursor for changing the F4 sort options.

071135 -
071136 - Line 1370, ref OF 3 2946, -entry 583, added code to call a new macro
071137 - file 06081 when there is no spec entered.  This means the user wants
071138 - a list of directories and files in the root directory of the
071139 - specified drive.
071140 -
071141 -
071142 -  ..

071146 - list of directories and files in root directory.
071147 -
071148 - Line 40, ref OF 2 4476, used switches for DIR to list hidden and
071149 - system files, and sort the list.  Switches are obtainted from
071150 - entering at DOS prompt...

071163 - Line 3320, ref OF 4 5703, -label Startxx, this is the code for Enter
071164 - in the File Listing screen.
071165 -
071166 - Line 3350, ref OF 4 5801, -label Startxx, added code for Enter to use
071167 - the DIR format instead of the sf.exe (Morris' ffile.exe) program, to
071168 - read a spec for opening a file.
071169 -
071170 - It checks 46 1117 to use DIR format.  If the DIR format is active, it
071171 - looks for a file extension, and if it is there, code is used to add a
071172 - dot and include the extension in the path and filename.
