LFNFOR

Enables/Disables Long file names when processing FOR commands.

Syntax

To enable Long file name support with FOR:
LFNFOR On

To disable Long file name support with FOR (default):
LFNFOR Off

To display the current status of LFNFOR:
LFNFOR

By default, FOR dosen't recognize long filenames in the "set" to be manipulated but works with the 8.3 Dos compatable aliases. LFNFOR enables/disables long filename recognition in the "set".
With LFNFOR On, the FOR command demonstrates a nasty bug when processing sets of files that include a path - see FOR for further details.
