13.4.1 Creating a new directory
Directory structures help you to manage your program and data transparently. You can
create subdirectories in a directory on the local drive and on USB/network drives.
In a subdirectory, in turn, you can create programs and then create program blocks for them.
Note
Directory names must end in .DIR or .WPD. The maximum name length is 49 characters
including the extension.
All letters (except accented characters), numbers, and underscores are permitted for name
assignment. These names are automatically converted to upper-case letters.
This limitation does not apply for work on USB/network drives.
Procedure
1. Select the "Program manager" operating area.
2. Select your chosen storage medium, i.e. a local or USB drive.
3. If you want to create a new directory in the local network, place the
cursor on the topmost folder and press the "New" and "Directory"
softkeys.
The "New Directory" window opens.
4. Enter the desired directory name and press the "OK" softkey.
