The way to view the help text for the command file 'listfx' is to invoke
it without any parameters.

The 'listfx' command file can also be used to perform some simple tasks on
the qualified file sets.  For example the following:

:listfx [log in to unmask] $credate<$today-7 $names $$purge > tmpfile
:xeq tmpfile

will write into 'tmpfile' the names of all week old system logfiles, that
can then be purged.
