Using

the

Hard

Disk

4-5

The

ALL

keyword

tells

the

system

to

copy

all

the

files

and

subdirectories

in

the

directory.

Please

refer

to

the

Enhancer

manual

for

more

information

on

using

the

COPY

command.

Before

copying

any

software

to

your

hard

drive,

check

the

documentation

packaged

with

the

program.

It

may

include

instructions

for

installing

and

using

the

software

on

a

hard

drive.

4.

You

may

have

to

set

up

some

special

ASSIGN

statements

in

order

for

your

software

to

work

correctly

from

the

hard

drive.

The

ASSIGN

command

allows

you

to

assign

a

logical

device

name

to

a

directory.

In

this

case

the

device

is

DISK1,

and

the

directory

is

DHO:Drawer.

Be

sure

to

remove

DISK1

from

the

floppy

drive

before

attempting

to

run

the

software

from

the

hard

drive.

For

example,

suppose

you

copy

a

program

into

the

directory

DHO:

Drawer,

and

when

you

attempt

to

run

the

software

a

requester

appears

saying:

Please

insert

Volume

DISKI

into

any

drive

This

indicates

that

the

software

is

looking

for

files

on

the

original

disk

(volume)

on

which

it

was

distributed.

By

assigning

the

volume

name

to

your

new

directory.

the

software

will

be

routed

to

the

correct

location.

To do

this,

open

a

CLI/Shell

window,

and

type:

ASSIGN

DISK1:

DH@:Drawer

if

the

requester

is

still

on

the

screen,

click

on

RETRY.

|f

the

requester

does

nat

reappear,

the

ASSIGN

worked.

You

may

want

to

add

this

command

to

DHO:'s

StartupIl

file

(DHO:s/Startupll)

so

that

the

assignment

is

made

when

you

boot

the

Amiga.

5,

Double-click

on

the

new

drawer.

All

the

icons

that

normally

appear

on

the

software

disk

will

now

appear

in

the

drawer.

However,

if

you

copied

more

than

one

disk

to

the

drawer,

it

may

be

quite

cluttered.

To

straighten

up

the

display,

select

Clean

Up

from

the

Workbench

menu.

6.

After

Clean

Up

organizes

the

drawers,

save

the

display.

To

do

this,

use

multiple

selection

to

mark

the

position

of

each

icon,

then

select

Snapshot

to

save

the

positions.

Hold

down

the

key

and

click

once

on

each

of

the

icons.

Release

the

key

and

select

Snapshot

from

the

Workbench

menu.
