I wrote a new shell command called FLIST to do just this.  I uploaded
it to Apple2-l as an update to SHELL.  It is also capable of
being run independently.  The idea is to create an EXEC file
that looks like this:


0D$=CHR$(4):?D$"OPEN LIST":?D$"WRITE LIST":LIST1,:?D$"CLOSE":END
RUN
0

At this point I've updated Shell twice, and Chris hasn't sent it out
yet.
