So do I...I've argued since 4.5 that LISTF should show POSIX files,
even if other MPE commands wouldn't recognize them without a "./"
(or "/") in front!  I'd much prefer to see all the data rather
than a subset of it.

I use LISTF (rather than LISTFILE) because:

   1) it's shorter to type

   2) it's the same command on MPE V and MPE/iX

   3) I'm stubborn

That's why I'm always interested in having anything that's added
to LISTFILE also be added to LISTF (like new modes).

(BTW, both LISTF and LISTFILE are built-in CI commands, not command files)
