File specification - Ctrl menu - Page 1 of 2 Help0250 These options enable you to see the current default drive/directory, to select this for use in the file prompt, and optionally to change the current default to the drive/directory displayed in the file prompt. Note that if concurrency is in operation, you will be requested to confirm before the default is changed, because the new default will take effect for all run-units. You can call or cancel specified libraries, making the constituent files temporarily available or unavailable to the system. A simple browse facility allows you to view the contents of the specified file. This function simply assumes the file is in a readable text format You may rename the specified file. Enter the new name when the Rename-file menu is displayed. Global characters are not allowed for this function. Additionally you may delete the file specified in the file prompt. The filename string may include global characters - confirmation is requested before deletion of each individual file. If only a drive/path is displayed, *.* is assumed. press F1 for more help or space bar to return PP ,=NNNNNN Z Help screen for... File specification - Ctrl menu - Page 2 of 2 Help0250 The Browse, Rename and Delete functions also operate on files within libraries. Such files should be specified as path\library-name.LBR\filename. A deleted library member still occupies space in the library file. Also note that if the library catalogue is already loaded, a deleted file will remain accessible until the catalogue is reloaded, for example by F6=cancl-lbr followed by F5=call-lbr. F1=help F2=show-def-dir Displays current default drive/path on bottom line. F3=use-def-dir Replaces drive/path in the file string by current default. F4=set-def-dir Changes current drive/path to that shown in the file string. F5=call-lbr Calls the specified .LBR file (loads the library catalogue). F6=cancl-lbr Cancels the specified .LBR file. F8=brs Browse the specified file, use PgDn or / to move forwards through the file. Escape exits from the browse facility. F9=ren Invokes the Rename-file menu for the specified file or, if already displayed, renames that file to the name now shown.

Directory - List-files Page 1 Help0251 If the Directory was invoked from a 'File' prompt, it lists files with the drive, directory path and extension shown there. If no drive/path was shown the current default directory is listed. If no extension was specified the Directory lists only the files which can be used at the point from which you entered the Directory. For example, if you were loading a source file into the editor, then the Directory lists source files only. If you invoked Directory from a 'File' prompt, select one of the listed files and return it to that prompt using the  and  keys and then pressing .

The list includes an entry for this directory, enabling you to relist available directories after changing a diskette. Pressing  simply selects the indicated path for use in the preceding 'File' prompt. Note that this simply replaces the path displayed there, enabling you to easily select a different path to save a file to (for example). Other functions allow you to navigate around the directory hierarchy (see Page 2 of this Help screen).
