Use the (DISK FILES) soft key in the Setup display under the (MEMRY
OPTNS) soft key to invoke the Disk File Management display, which lists all
files currently on disk.
Retrieving from a Floppy Disk
To retrieve a show file from a disk and load it into the console RAM, use the
(RETRV FILE) soft key in the Setup display with the name of the desired file.
You can use up to 8 characters in the show file name to specify the file on disk
to be retrieved. If no name is specified when using (RETRV FILE) in the Setup
display, the console attempts to retrieve the current show file name, or file
"1.ENC". If no name is specified when using (RTRV FILE) in the Disk File
Management subdisplay, then the file shown in reverse video becomes the
default file retrieved.
Overwrite Warning Message: An Overwrite Warning message
announces that the current show in memory will be replaced by the show data
being retrieved. Pressing the [ENTER] key will complete the command and
replace any pre-existing show data in RAM. Pressing the [CLEAR] key will
cancel the command.
? EXAMPLE: To retrieve an entire show from a disk (and replace show
data currently in memory) from the Setup display:
1. (MEMRY OPTNS)
2. (DISK FILES) (Opens the Disk File
Management subdisplay.)
3. [NEXT] or [LAST] (Selects the “current”
Show File.)
4. (RETRV FILE) [ENTER] (Retrieves file shown in
reverse video.)
- or -
(RETRV FILE) [enter file name] [ENTER] (Retrieves specified file.)
? EXAMPLE: To retrieve a show from disk, yet retain the current
patch:
1. (MEMRY OPTNS)
2. (DISK FILES) (Opens the Disk File
Management subdisplay.)
3. (RETRV -PATCH) [ENTER] (Retrieves file shown in
reverse video minus the
patch information.)
- or -
(RETRV -PATCH) [enter file name] [ENTER] (Retrieves
specified file without the patch
information.)
