Select "Copy/Rename/Delete/Edit Files" in the main menu to copy,
rename, delete or edit files.
First, you'll be asked to enter a path in which to look for files to
display. Enter only the drive and/or directory. Do NOT enter a
filename.
After entering a valid drive and/or directory, all files from that
directory will be displayed in sorted order on filename extention
with the files size (in bytes) and date appearing to the right.
Any time you wish to perform one of the following described
procedures on a database (DBF) file select the DBF file. Any
procedure performed on a database (DBF) file will also be performed
on any accompanying DBT, DF1, and DF2 files and any file that is
currently in use can not be selected.
Next, select a file then press either C, R, D, or E.
Copy
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This selection will copy a file to another drive and/or
directory. Enter the target path and press enter. The target path
is only the drive and directory in which to copy the file and not
the filename itself. Next, specify a new name for the file. If
the directory specified does not exist it will be created. If the
file already exists you will be asked if you want to copy over
it. If insufficient disk space is available on the target drive
and directory you will be informed so and will not be able to
copy the file(s).
Rename
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This selection will rename a file(s). If you select a DBF file,
you will not be able to change the file name extention and
anything done to a DBF file will also be done to any accompanying
DBT, DF1 or DF2 file(s).
Delete
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This selection will delete a file(s). Before the file(s) are
deleted, you will be asked "Are you sure?" to safeguard against
accidental erasure.
Edit
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This selection will allow you to edit a text file as long as it
is less than 64,000 bytes in size. This is useful for editing
your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files located in the root
directory of your hard drive. This can also be used to view the
README.TXT file.
