Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
File List Dialog
4-5
In the center of this line is an indicator of the number of files in the currently displayed directory.
This number is grouped together with the number of selected files: Sel:0/54.
The first number means “No files selected” and the number after the slash means “Fifty-four
files are in the directory.” File selection is possible in several of the disk functions, more on this
below. The total number of files also includes any subdirectories of the current directory.
On the left end of the top line of the file list page is the current directory, sometimes in an
abbreviated form. If you are in the root directory, the display will read:
Dir:|\|||||||||||Sel:0/54||||Index:||24|
If you are in the directory \MONDAY, the display will read:
Dir:\MONDAY\|||||Sel:0/54||||Index:||24|
If you are in a directory that is more than one level down from the root directory, such as
\FX2\GLASS\BREAKING, the display will read:
Dir:..\BREAKING\|Sel:0/54||||Index:||24|
The ..\ indicator tells you that you are more than one level down from the root directory.
The File Index
On the right end of the top line is the Index field. This tells the position of the highlighted file
relative from the beginning of the file list. The first entry in a file list is index 1.
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:2/23||||Index:|||3|
|||||||||||||||||AXM||||||.KRZ||||122K||
|||||||||||||||||CHIME||||.KRZ|||||42K||
||||File|to|load:DOORS||||.KRZ|||3456K||
|||||||||||||||||JUNE27|||||||(dir)|||||
|||||||||||||||||LONGSMPS|||||(dir)|||||
|Total:21034K||||FLUTE||||.KRZ|||||.5K||
Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
Typing a number on the K2000 alphanumeric buttonpad will automatically scroll the display to
the corresponding entry in the file list. Typing an out of range value such as 999 is a quick
shortcut to get to the end of the file list.
In addition to remembering the current directory on the most recently used drive, the K2000
now also remembers the index within the file list for the current directory. For instance, if you
were to hit Cancel on the above screen, and then either choose a different disk function (such as
Rename), or even if you exited Disk mode, went to Program mode, and then later returned to
Disk mode to load a file off of the same drive, the file index would still show up on 3
(DOORS.KRZ). This index is remembered until a new drive is selected by scrolling the Current
Disk parameter on the Disk mode page.
There are exceptions to this however. For example, when a file is written to the drive using the
Save function, the index will subsequently be set to the file that was just saved (see Save
function). The index can also be explicitly set using the List and Find utilities (see below).
