TYPE

TYPE <filespec> {switches}

TYPE displays the specified file on the screen (similar to the cat utility under UNIX).

TYPE <file>/P is functionally equivalent to PAGE TYPE <file>; see the notes on PAGE.

TYPE will display control characters in "caret notation" (i.e., using a printable character preceded by a ^). For example, nulls will display as ^@, escapes will display as ^[, etc.
