Usage

classlist: Display all entries from PM_Objects:ClassList to stdout.
classlist > file: Read all entries from PM_Objects:ClassList and write the result into file.
classlist file: Replace the current active class list by the list stored in file. You will be asked before the action is taken.

Removing a dead class entry:

classlist > file
Remove the corresponding line from file (See note).
classlist file
Press Y and Enter.

Note: Do not use e.exe for editing of the class list file because it stores an additional character ^Z at the end of each file which confuses classtool.
