To sort a directory, enter

	dir | sort

If you don't want it to scroll away from you before you can read it,
try

	dir | sort | more

instead.  SORT and MORE are not resident commands in DOS 2.1, so they
must be on the disk.  These create temporary files for the pipeline,
so you must have enough space for them also.  (The temporary files get
erased at the end of the pipe, I believe.)
