Kaypro 10 - USING THE DIRECTORY

USING THE DIRECTORY
All
the directory entries for all the user areas are intermixed in one massed
directory, but you can treat them as fifteen separate working areas.
If the computer is in user area 1, and you type: dir
the directory only gives those files which are in user area 1. And the list, if it con-
tains too many names to display at one time, will scroll too fast to read. You can
stop scrolling by pressing at the same time CTRL and S. To restart scrolling,
press those keys again. A better way is to use the directory program called D.
The D Program
Type: d
Press RETURN.
The files in the current user area will be listed alphabetically with the size of the
files. Only as many file names will be displayed as the screen will hold. On the
bottom line, a prompt will tell you to:
Press space to continue
• To list all files of an entire drive, type: d $uvs
Press RETURN.
• To find the user area number of all files with a certain extent (file type),
type (for example): d * .mss $uvs
D
will list all .mss files with their size and user number (UN).
• To search all the user areas for a particular file, type:
d (the name
of the file you want) $uvs
Press RETURN.
