The Choose File Name Function
When entering in a Þlename for saving, there is a Choose soft button. When Choose is pressed
from the Þle naming dialog, the K2600 will access the current disk directory and display the
following:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/10||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Choose|file|name:BOTTLE|||.K26|||||48K||
|||||||||||||||||CLAV|||||.K26|||1207K||
|||||||||||||||||REGGAE|||||||(dir)|||||
|Total:664K||||||STICK||||.K26||||550K||
||||||||Root||Parent|||||||||OK|||Cancel
The function of this dialog is to grab the text of any Þlename on the current disk, and either use
it as a starting point in the Þle naming dialog, or else use the chosen Þlename exactly. This helps
when replacing Þles on the disk (where the name must exactly match the Þle being replaced), or
adding Þles to the disk that have similar names or appended revision numbers. You can save
time by not having to enter the entire Þlename on the K2600Õs alphanumeric buttonpad.
The Open soft button is visible in the ÒChoose Þle nameÓ dialog only when a subdirectory is
highlighted.
Traversing directories from the Choose function does not change the current default directory.
Selecting the Directory to use for Saving a File
After you specify the Þlename when saving any Þle, select where to put it: by default it goes in
the current directory, but you can specify any other directory on the current disk:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use|current|directory|for|BOTTLE.K26?|||
(Path|=|\)||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||||||Change||OK|||Cancel
Pressing OK will accept the default path (the current directory), which in this example is the root
directory (represented by the backslash character). Pressing Change will allow you to view the
disk, traversing its directories, until you Þnd the one in which you want to save the Þle. If you
choose a different directory from the default, it will become the new default directory. For more
information on selecting a directory, see The Directory Selection Dialog on page 13-13.
Saving Any File sets the File Index
After saving a Þle, you can go to any disk function (such as Load), and the just saved Þle will be
automatically highlighted. This makes it easy to Þnd a Þle that you have just saved, in case you
