New
Folder
Folders are
collections
of
files you
create to
help
organize
your
files.
When
you
turn on
your
ST System,
there
won’t be
any
folders unless you
have created
and
saved
folders
beforehand.
You'll need to
use
the New
Folder
option to
create
them.
Open
your
Floppy
Disk
icon, select
the New
Folder
option,
and this
Dialog
Box
will
be
displayed:
NEU FOLDER
Nane:
j
.
—
I
OK
I
I
Cancel

When
you
have given
the new
folder a
name
and clicked
on the
OK
button,
your new
folder’s
icon
will appear
in the
current win-
dow
(the one
that you
are
working in).
To put
your files into
the folder,
simply
drag
them into
the new
folder.
When
the
folder icon
is shaded,
release the
left mouse
button, follow the
prompts
in
the
Dialog
Box and the
file
will
be
copied
into
the
folder.
For
detailed procedures
on
creating
and
managing
folders, see
Chapter
6,
Managing
Disks, Files,
and
Folders.
Close
There are
three ways to
close a
window.
If you
have
a
window on
your screen
and
you
don’t
want
it displayed,
you
can either
select
the
Close
or Close
Window
options
from the
File menu, or you
can
click on the
window’s Close
Box.
It is always a good
idea to put
windows away
if
you
are
not using
them. You
can only
have four
windows open
on the
GEM Desktop
at
any one
time and any
extra
open windows
will use up some
of
the
available Desktop
space.
The Close
option
will close only
the active
window, not
all the
windows
on the GEM Desktop.
The
Close
option or Close
Box
will
also close
down the most
recently
opened
folder. If you
are not
within
a
particular
folder, the
window
itself
will
close.
