Viewing Files
You can view a file directly from within Filer, although that’s not always very
helpful. Example: Highlight the COMPUSRY .DCF filein the _dat subdirectory
and press [ENTER]. You'll see this:
Filer . 89-18-91 2:52 pm
Viewing file: Cis_dat>compusrv.dcf
TO t+ 800800Baiva
+Pnarel
Not much useful information there! However, there are several types of files that
can be usefully viewed from Filer. Special files that you create in Memo Editor,
such as AUTOEXEC .BAT and CONFIG .SYS are text (ASCII) files. Any
« TRT files or «BAT files can also be viewed using Filer. Press (Fs) (Ef=1A®), type
ciyx_syshsysinit .bat to view the batch file which copies the
required files from the 54s folder (ROM) to the dat folder (RAM) where the
built-in applications expect to find them. You should see:

Editing Files
When you view files with the Filer, you may only look at them, you cannot edit them
in any way. If you want to edit a file, you must open the application that created
that file and then retrieve the file. .ABK files can be edited within the
Appointment Book, «PBK files within the Phone Book, « E@M within the Solver
section of the Calculator, «MWK files within 1-2-3, and any kind of text file ( «LST,
« TAT, «BAT, etc.) within the Memo Editor.
