The 'folder' button after the filename field displays a list of files on the selected input medium
(cartridge, tape or QIC). These also show the File Sequence Number followed by a dot ('.')
and then the magnetic tape filename. This button helps you if you do not know the exact file
name(s) on the tape. Depending on the tape content, this may take several minutes.
You can print the imported data later using the standard Print Job Manager.
