Problems Opening, Moving, or Copying files.
You cannot open a file from the Filer. Highlighting a file in Filer and pressing
doesn’t open a file, it allows you to view its ASCII form. You are unable
to modify it in any way.
To open a file, you must first open the application that created that file. Then,
from within the application, you must open the file (pressing (MENU), (Flile, (OJpen
or (MENU), (F)ile, (Rletrieve) that you need.
You can only have one file open at one time in one application (although you
can have multiple applications open at once, each with an open file). This
means that when you attempt to open a second file, you will be asked if you want
to overwrite the current file or if you would prefer to save it first. If you choose
to overwriteit, you will lose all changes that haven't already been saved to disk.
When using the Filer to move files or to copy files using the Split screen (see
page 92), the copied or moved files will end up in the directory open on the other
side of the screen unless you specifically say otherwise. It is easiest if you open
the target directory explicitly before moving or copying files into it.
Don’t use the #V switch (Verify) on the DOS COPY command. There’s a bugin
its implementation in Rev. A of the HP 95LX. Similarly, don’t use the DOS
VERIFY command, either, if you have Rev. A. These problems affect you only
if you're using DOS commands instead of the Filer.
Problems Installing or Starting the Connectivity Pack
138
If you're using DOS 5.0, you may get the error message, Packed file
corrupt, during installation of the Connectivity Pack. Try the command
LOADFIX A: INSTALL instead of just INSTALL.
If the Connectivity Pack won't start up after you've followed all of the proper
set-up and installation procedures (see pages 90-92), then:
1. Make sure you've connected the serial port to COM1 on the PC.
2. OnthePC, type path and press (ENTER). Make sure that the MS-DOSPATH
statement includes the directory where you installed the Connectivity Pack
(usually C : \CPACK). If necessary, edit the AUTOEXEC .BAT and include
the directory in the PATH statement.
3. On the PC, type set and press ENTER). Make sure that there is a MS-DOS
P IMS variable that includes the directory where you installed the Connec-
tivity Pack (usually C:\CPACK). Furthermore, in the AUTOEXEC . BAT
file the P IMS variable must come before any line that runs a program.
