File Operation

The word processor stores each document in a separate “file” on a diskette and

under an individual “file name” of up to eight characters that you choose when

you store the document for the first time.

You are ailowed to save your document at any moment during editing. Once your
document is saved, you may start working with another document, or switch the

word processor off. The next time you switch the word processor on, you may

retrieve your document to complete editing. You may also decide to print a docu­
ment that has been completed and previously saved, or the document you are

working on.

This word processor also includes several File Utility functions such as file copy,

delete, and rename that allow for easy maintenance of your text files.

To view the list of your WP files on a particular diskette, switch from the WRITE/

EDIT screen to the WP INDEX screen, insert that diskette, and press [№11.

The word processor assumes that you might wish to save the data that is cur­

rently displayed on the WRITE/EDIT screen. (For details, see “Saving a File” on
page 61.)

NOTE:

If you are using a brand new diskette or a diskette that has been used with

another word processor or computer, please read “initializing New Diskettes”
on page 14.

The WP INDEX screen lists all the WP files on the current diskette. Example:

*

<< WP INDEX >>

REMAIN:XXX.XK

♦NEWFILE

TEXTl

(XX.X)

TEXT2 (XX.X)

TEXT3

(XX.X)

TEXT4

(XX.X)

TEXTS (XX.X)

Select a file and press RETURN. Press CANCEL to display MAIN MENU.

*NEWFI LE is not a file stored on the diskette. This is an empty file that allows you

to start from scratch.

The numbers displayed in parentheses at the right of the file names- indicate the
size of the files (in kilobytes).

The number following the indicator REMAIN shows the remaining space on the dis­

kette.

A file name can be selected by moving the block cursor (reverse display of the file

name) with the cursor keys. If you have more files on the diskette than the amount

that can be displayed on the screen, [J] and [J] will scroll the display.
