    Zumindest ist 'TYPE' beschrieben im Handbuch.

    TYPE -- Display the contents of a sequential disk file

    TYPE "filename" [,Ddrive] [<,|ON>Udevice]

    Use this command to print the contents of a PETSCII data file on the
    screen. The file must contain lines no longer than 255 characters long
    and terminated by a return character (CHR$(13)). Lines too long result
    in a 'STRING TOO LONG' error.

    TYPE "readme" display the contents of the README file on the screen

    The command sequence below will print the contents of the README file
    on a CBM serial bus printer in upper/lower case mode.

    OPEN 4,4,7: CMD4: TYPE"readme": CLOSE4

    At least this EDIT-Command together with the TYPE-Command gives us a standard textformat for 'READMEs' and Manuals explaining the use of software on disk.

    It would be nice if 'TYPE' could accept options, like p.E. /p (one screen/page), and only continue when a key is pressed.

    Even better comfort, if we could scroll back and forward through the PETSCII-Files
