The TNC 416 saves programs and tables as files. The TNC can store
up to 100 files. A file is identified by its file name and file extension.

The file name is entered when a new file is created.

The file extension is separated from the file name by a period, and
indicates what type of file it is.

File directory

You call the file directory with the PGM NAME key (TNC 406) or the
PGM MGT key (TNC 416).

To delete files from the TNC, use CL PGM on the TNC 406 to call up
the directory.
