The filename parameter specifies the file to display. Files are loaded from the Text Files folder by default, although you may also specify a full path to any file on the computer system. The BBS server must have permission to read the file.
The $BREAK ON statement enables control-C breaking (to terminate the display of the file). The $BREAK OFF statement disables control-C breaking. First documented in WBBS 4.10.
