Well, your lister is sitting there on the Desktop staring at you.  You'd 
like to find out all sorts of intimate information about it, but how? 
 
 lister query  
 
  The  lister query  command will let you find out all there is to know about 
your lister and it's contents, as long as you know the handle. 
  Things like; it's path, the number of entries, the number of files, the 
fields currently displayed, the sorting method, etc are yours for the asking. 
 
  What's that?  You don't like the way your lister currently looks?  Have no 
fear, we even supply a command to let you change it. 
 
 lister set  
 
   lister set  will let you change things such as; the current path, the sort 
direction, entry separation method, titlebar, header, state, mode, etc all at 
the flick of a wrist. 
 
  There really is only two commands that let you find and set lister 
attributes,  lister query  and  lister set , but I thought I'd describe a 
couple of others just for something to do. 
 
  Your lister opened in the wrong spot or perhaps it's obscuring something on 
the Desktop that you'd like to see.  Maybe you'd just like to have it scale 
itself relative to the screen size. 
 
 lister set position  
 
  And the one below will let you make a lister visible or invisible, the 
possible use of this is you can set up your lister with the contents, 
toolbar, mode, etc without the user seeing all this happening, and then just 
make it visible...magic!
