I like the specialversion of the popular program List distributed on the
CBFB disk called listb.  It is the normal list program except that it
writes through BIOS.  I set up a window in artic that excludes the top
and bottom lines of the screen and use the u and d commands to move up
and down a page at a time (the pgup and pgdn keys in Artic cause a
speech function after the pg key is executed which gets in the way of
list in that mode).  Listb moves backward and forward in a file, and I
think it can keep your place in more than one file-- but not after you
quit.  If you have the appropriate archivers, list can show you a
directory (which actually has the system cursor at the right place on
the list if I remember right), let you pic a file and show it to you.
If that file isan archive, you can view the file list of the archive,
choose a file, and have the file dearchived for you while you read it.
With the Docupilot feature of the new Artic 3.0 (continuous read)
though, I may change to something like WP because I don't think the
continuous read feature will work well with list.
