| ? | Matches any one character. |
| % | Matches any one character. |

If LIST FILES is issued with no <skeleton> specified, then it will list details of table files only.
TO <file>
The display output will be sent to the specified file. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. If no file extension is specified, then ".txt" will be used.
