RES
FileList can also be invoked by entering the ContextList command while a FileLibrary or FileScan session is current. FileList sessions do not allow updates to take place. If the file is currently being edited, FileList will display the text of the file ignoring any changes made in the edit session.
FileList creates a session with the text and attributes of an existing file. For workstation files, if attributes have never been defined for the file, FileListwill use attributes from a template file.
FileList sets last referenced file.
When Valid

Return Codes
OK Successful.
NF File not found.
