Viewing Catalogs and Saving Files
File Menu Functions
b. Type: column displays the extension of the filename, for example, .STA
or .TRC. Directories are displayed as DIR and drives have nothing listed
under Type:. They are only designated by the Name: column ([-A-] or
[-C-]).
c. Size: column displays the size of the file in bytes.
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: 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 diskette
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: diskette 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
4-1except 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.)
