Working with the MC 218
The Desktop screen is the MC 218’s file manager. You will see the Desktop
screen the first time you switch the MC 218 on; at other times, just press the
Desktop program icon to move to it.
When you first turn the MC 218 on, the name of the current folder is displayed
in the Title bar at the left of the screen. Files are listed in columns across the
screen; the icons beside their names represent the programs used to create
them.
You can move around on the screen.
To move the highlight between the files and folders on the screen:
• Tap on the names, or use the arrow keys. If there are more files in the
folder than can be displayed on screen, scroll the screen using the left and
right arrow keys, or the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.
You can use a ‘bookmark’ to tag and move to a folder that you often use.
To set a bookmark:
1. Move to the folder
2. On the Edit menu, select Set bookmark to insert the bookmark.
3. Later you can select Go to bookmark on the Edit menu to move back to
the folder.
To view the files on a Memory disk:
• Change the current disk by tapping the disk (C) icon in the title bar and
select the disk you want to view, or select the command for Disk D on
Current disk on the Disk menu.
Opening files, folders & programs
You can open files, folders and programs.
To open a file or folder from the Desktop screen:
• Tap its name twice, or highlight it and press Enter. Files that are currently
open, have their names displayed in bold on the Desktop screen. Opening
a file automatically saves and closes any other file that is currently open in
the program.
To open two or more files of the same type at the same time:
• Hold down the Fn key while opening the second file from the Desktop
screen. Then tap the program icon to cycle through the open files.
