Dear User,
I used Notepad (a text editor which comes with Windows Operating Systems) Clicked on File then Open. Notepad is looking for files with txt extension, but if you put *.* in the command line, it will list files with other extensions. I opened the file called MDIR51.FRW. I clicked on the file I was looking for. Then I clicked on Find (to get there click on Edit, then Find) and searched for V130. If you are working with SAS, you are most likely using MDIR52SD.zip. Best to unzip the files and if you want to look at the frequencies, you can use the method I just outlined above. I just now looked at V130 using MDIR51FL.FRW
