filename.pointer-file

File/Access: General, Releases: AP and R83

Contains saved lists.

Description

the default file containing items from 'save-list' commands.

The item-id defaults to '%user-id' (percent sign concatenated with the user-id) when not specified with the list process verbs such as 'save-list' or 'edit-list'.

The 'pointer-file' resides on the 'dm' or 'sysprog' account. Separate 'pointer-files' can be created on any 'account'. When using a 'pointer-file' on any account other than 'dm', the verbs associated with the file need to be modified to point to the correct account. 'pf' is a q-pointer to 'pointer-file'.

In AP, 'save lists' can be saved in ANY file.

In R83, 'pointer-file' is a 'dc' type file. In AP, 'pointer-file' is a 'd' type file.
