Selecting all items on a list panel

Typically, when working with a list panel of items, you enter a line action next to one item or a few items.

However, under some circumstances, you may want to perform the same line action on every item on the list panel. To do this, instead of entering the line action next to each item, enter the line action on the command line, followed by a space and then an asterisk. For example, REN *.

This does not perform any immediate action on the items. It inserts the line action next to each item on the list panel, saving you some typing. You can choose to delete the line action from some of the items, and then press Enter to perform the action on the remaining selected items.

These commands insert line actions next to every item in the list, not just on the currently displayed page: if you scroll to the previous or next pages in the list, you will see that line actions have been inserted next to those items, too.

To remove the line actions from all resource definitions in the list, enter RESET on the command line.

This method is only available for some line actions, and is deliberately not available for destructive line actions such as DEL.
