 You can use any of the wildcard commands for files, so the password can be put on one file, on all of the same type (as above), or on all files on disk using *.*. This is one of those things where you need some sensitivity; a single password for all files makes more sense than a different one for each, after all, it can be nice to try searching all files in case you forget the magic word. You can use any of the wildcard commands for files, so the password can be put on one file, on all of the same type (as above), or on all files on disk using *.*.

 There are quite a few parameters of the SET command. Below we leave you with a complete list of them and the functions they perform. File.typ is the name to be replaced with the name of the file of interest or a wildcard file specification. There are quite a few parameters of the SET command.

 The only problem with printing dates is that you need to initialize PCW with the date and time (using the DATE utility) every time you start working with PCW so that everything stays in order. If you are going to need this facility frequently, you should seriously consider a built-in clock (such as the one that SCA Systems puts in their Centronic interface). With a simple SUBMIT file you can set the correct date and time every time you turn on your PCW. The only problem with printing dates is that you need to initialize PCW with the date and time (using the DATE utility) every time you start working with PCW so that everything stays in order.

 What exactly does SET do? Each character in the PCW is maintained as an eight-bit binary number, but only the first seven are needed to define it. The eighth is normally a zero but can be used as an indicator. The three characters of the file type can each have their own set of bits, and each means something different to CP/M. What exactly does SET do?
