Writable menu boxes
Some submenus include writable menu boxes.
They prompt you to type in information, such as a
filename. Some boxes are blank. Others include a
default name, which you can change if you want
to.
To erase the default name, press the Delete key
until it has gone. (A quicker way is to hold down
the Ctrl key and press U.)
1 Display the writable menu box
For example, one of the boxes shown above is a
submenu
from the
New directory menu option in
the Filer menu. You'll find out how to display it in
Creating a new
directory on page
45.
2 Type in the information requested
Use the Delete key or press Ctrl U to remove the
default name, if there is one.
Decide on a new name and type it in. The text will
appear to the left of the vertical bar (called the
caret).
3 Apply the name
There are four ways of applying the name you've
typed in, depending on the type of writable menu
box:
• click Select on the name
• press Return
• click Select on the OK box
• drag the file's icon from the menu box to a
directory display.
You'll find out more about this in
Files and
directories
on page 43.
