Dont understand read in a directory. to see what is in a directory change to the directory and then view the contents. an example would be dir then with the list of directories showing change to the directory you want to examine and dir again
C:\dir
cd windows
C:\<windows>dir
this would show all directories on the c: drive the cd windows tells it to change to the windows directory and the dir would show any folders in the windows directory.
If there are too many folders to fit on one screen you could use /w/p./w tells it to show in wide format /p tells it to pause if there is more than one screen full.
If there was a file then you could use type (filename and it would show what was in the file.If you wanted to change anything in the file you could use edit (filename).
