Getting Started
File Menu Functions
d. Modified: column displays the date and time the last change
occurred.
3. The softkey menu has four options:
a.
Type: allows you to choose the type of file you wish to view. (You
may view all types by using the
All key under Type.)
b. Sort: Under the Sort key, you can sort by any of the four columns
and you can choose up (ascending) or down (descending).
c. Dir Up: moves you up one directory level. If you are already at the
top level, this key moves you up to the drive level, displaying the
available disk drives.
d.
Dir Select: moves you down into the highlighted directory or up
into the next level (directory or drive) if the “. .” under the Name:
column is highlighted.
NOTE Navigation keys: Use the front-panel Step Keys or Knob and the Dir Up
or Dir Select keys to move around in the directory information box.
4. The drive space line shows the number of bytes used on the drive
and the number of bytes still free on the drive.
Creating a directory
Directories and sub-directories can be created on both the A: floppy disc
and the internal C: drive. This allows maximum flexibility in
organizing files. For this example, we will create a directory on the C:
drive.
1. Press
File, More 1 of 2, Create Dir. Your screen should look similar to
Figure 2-6, except the entry fields will be Dir Name: and Path: and
the Heading will read: Directories.
2. Navigate through the file system until the Path: field displays C:\.
(Use the Step Keys, Knob, Dir Up, and/or Dir Select keys.)
3. Press
Name and enter the name, “START” using the Alpha Editor.
(The numeric keypad is also available for the filename.) Press
Enter
(hardkey) when the Dir Name: field contains this directory title.
(Use the
Bk Sp hardkey on the front panel to make corrections.)
4. Press
Create Dir Now to execute the operation. The message:
Creating Directory appears on the screen. Then the status bar
displays: Directory C:\START created.
5. To make a sub-directory, scroll down to the START directory you just
created and press
Dir Select. The Path: field should now read:
C:\START\. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 above, using a new name. The
status bar now should read: Directory C:\START\new name
created.
