Try XDIR /S. And the OpenDOS equivalent of DIR /AS is XDIR +S.

There are some multi-config options, but they are not the same as
MS-DOS's. I used to have a multi-config setup with DR-DOS on my old 286,
but I don't remember how I set it up. I had to use (ick) goto's and SET=
commands (so that autoexec.bat would pick up on my config.sys selections
and act accordingly).
I'm wondering if, now that OpenDOS is getting more popular, if I should
add a "Help with switching from MS-DOS" section to my web page. Anyone
interested in seeing this?
