DESCRIPTION

The mtype command displays the specified file on the screen. Unlike conventions, this command supports multiple arguments. 

Subdirectory names that contain the ’/’ or ’\’ separator are supported.  If you use the ’\’ separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from the shell. 

The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:\.

The following exit values are returned:

0Success. 

1Failure.
