Topic: SOLVED: Request for .ls command without CLS after keypress

May I request a change to the .ls command?

After listing a catalog with .ls and press of a key the screen get completely cleared.

If a file with a complicated filename e.g. WC4H2QX.TXT is listed we need to remember complete filename in our brain to type a following command like .ERASE WC4H2QX.TXT

Could the CLS from .ls please removed?

.ls does not clear the screen -- it is basic that is doing that. You might want to try from "Command Line" mode instead of NextBasic. The main difference is that the basic interpreter does not clear the main screen.

And my reply: (Solution for this under NextBasic on SpecNext):

Thank you. Seems I mixed something up. The solution was really to use it in "Command Line". Great!
