see the SAS-L archives for references to the "dictionary tables"
 
On your SAS display manager session look at the views in SASHELP.
SASHELP.VTABLE and SASHELP.VMEMBER are views of dictionary.tables and
dictionary.members respectively.
 
But I wouldn't expect a unix cat command to be much help with the SAS
data sets that the dictionary tables would list ....?
 
Have flat files in the current SAS work library?
