Subject: LISTF question

 Hello,

I've read the help on listf but it doesn't appear to tell me what the
list level 1 output means.  For example -

:listf SORT@,1
 PATH= /DEV/DEV/PETERS/

 CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-------  FILENAME
         SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT

         256B  VA           3          1   SORTED
         128W  FB           2       1023   SORTI

What does the letter B or W after the size mean?  What do the two
letter's under "TYP" mean?

I think I'm OK with the rest.

Thanks for any help.

Peter
