Or have a file share to the directory and look at it in Windows File Explorer. Or whatever Mac's equivalent is.

Better yet if you're open to non-green screen options:
Install VS Code and open it that way over SSH.

Or install an SSH client and use the Nano editor or Midnight Commander.

Hello all -

This seems like something I should know but -

When I want to see the contents of an IFS object from a command line, I enter 'WRKLNK /dir1/dir2/object.txt' then put a '5' beside the object.

Is there a way to display the contents directly without the WRKLNK followed by option 5? I found DSPLNK but it is just WRKLNK with fewer options.

Thanks,

Steve McKay
