	      C  Compressed

	      D  Directory

	      H  Hidden

	      I  In ROM

	      M  ROM module (can only be executed, not read!)

	      N  Normal

	      R  Read-only

	      S  System

	      T  Temporary

OPTIONS

       -d LEVEL
	      Set debug log level:

	      ter is omitted, the contents of the "My Documents" folder is listed.
