That's interesting! On this 5.0 system, -2 is not listed as an option under
:HELP LISTF,PARMS although it works.

<soapbox>
But PLEASE consider using LISTFILE,ACD instead! With 12 different numbers
for :LISTFILE and 68 (!) numbers for FINFO(), it is all too easy to forget
which is which. (Quick! What does finfo(filename,37) return? I don't know
either, so PLEASE use the names!)
