^.FLD^, and will display the Creation date in place of the Free block

% SPECIAL %
When ^FLDDIR^ is in display mode, pressing the ^ESC^ key will exit
^FLDDIR^ and leave the current screen displayed. If the user has
selected the ^/W^ option the terminal will remain in wide mode.

format as ^FOLDERS^, ^FLDDIR^ will also display directory information
and label information for ^ZIP Disks^.
^FLDDIR ALL:*.ZIP[]^ will find and display ^ZIP Disk^ information.
