Figure 9-9 Sorting Numbers

The Sort command treats numbers like any other character, and sorts them by their character values, instead oftheir numeric values.

MakeLink: Creating Links Between Files The MakeLink command creates a file that points to another, already existing file. Whenever you use the name of the first file in a command, the command actually accesses the second file. For example, if you enter: MAKELINK SYS:link TO GDir

link

you get a directory listing of the current directory! The link file is actually a copy of the file to which it is linked. If the linked file changes (GDir here), however, the link file (Sys:link) automatically changes also. The template of MakeLink is: FROM/A,TO/A,HARD/S
