IBM i ACS Integrated File System to include TEXT attribute

It would be nice to see the TEXT attribute beside directories and stream files.  The TEXT attribute can be seen on the green-screen WRKLNK.  While we try to name folders and files with meaningful names, it's not always possible.  Vendors install folders.  The home directory has a folder for each user, which in our case, is only 6 characters in length.  I want to add TEXT but it's useless unless I can view it in ACS.
