If the directory is too long to fit on the display screen the use of the cursor control keys can scroll back the virtual screen to see the earlier entries.
The virtual screen contains 24 lines, if a file directory extends more than 24 lines , the top lines will scroll off the screen. Use of wildcards may help in limiting the number of directory lines displayed.
