Spool Files
Output spool files (sometimes called “spoofles”) hold reports or listings that are waiting to print on a shared system printer. On MPE V you must use the Spook program to look at spool files, but on MPE/iX they are normal files that can be Texted, Listed and Destroyed in Qedit. To make this easier, Qedit recognizes # as preceding a spool file number and automatically converts it into the proper file name:
/showout sp;ready
/text #1234 {O for output is assumed}
/list #o899 /destroy #889
