Current Directory

The Current Directory field in the right window shows the directory where the File

Selector is searching for files. The default Current Directory is the directory where you

store your program files.

There are two ways to change the current directory. You can directly specify the

pathname, or you can select it by cursoring through the directory structure using the

..

Parent Directory

or highlighting a directory name on the left and pressing

[Enter]

.

Note

To use files from a different disk drive, you must directly specify the path to the drive.

For instance, to change to drive B:, you must specify the root directory as

B:

. You

can then cursor through the directory structure of B: to find the files.

To directly specify a pathname:

1.

Use the

[Home]

key (or the up arrow key) to move the highlight bar in the left

window to MAKE NEW DIRECTORY/CHANGE DRIVE.

2.

Press

[Enter]

. The File Selector prompts you to enter a new pathname.

3.

Type the pathname, and press

[Enter]

. If the directory exists, the File Selector

shows the files in that directory. If the directory does not exist, the File Selector

creates it.

To select a directory to change to:

1.

Using the up and down arrow keys, move the highlight bar in the left window to

..

PARENT DIRECTORY

.

2.

Press

[Enter]

. The left window refreshes, showing the files in the directory

directly above the old directory. Notice the old directory is shown in the file list

with

next to the directory name.

3.

You can move up and down through the directory structure by selecting parent

directories and subdirectories. Subdirectories are indicated by a

after their

name on the left. When you locate the file you want, move the highlight bar to the

file name, and press

[Enter]

to select the file.
