The File Manager displays the list of files from the
directory you specify. You can sort files by filename, size, and
time the file was created. File Manager lets you copy, delete,
rename, change attributes, or move files without exiting to DOS.
You can even edit ASCII text files.
File:
Open: Allows you to edit the highlighted ASCII text
file. See the Resident Editor section of Main
Program Help. Pressing <Enter> on the highlighted
allow you to View the file, not edit.
Exit: Exits the File Manager module, bringing you back
to the main program opening screen.
Attrib: Allows you to show or change file attributes
(characteristics). Uses Common Submenu Options. The
plus sign (+) turns on an attribute; the minus sign (-)
turns it off. Attributes include:
(A) Archive: Indicates that the file was created
or changed.
(H) Hidden: Hides a file from a normal
directory listing. The file can
only be displayed in the File
Manager.
(R) Read-only: Indicates that the file may not be
edited or erased.
(S) System: Indicates a hidden system file.
Copy: Copies files from one directory to another. You can
even copy files to another drive. Select an option from
the submenu to identify files to be copied. See Tagging
and Copying Files. See Common Submenu Options.
Delete: Deletes files from the current directory. Select an
option from the submenu to identify files to be
deleted. See Common Submenu Options.
Move: Moves files to another directory. Move is a one-step
process, saving you the trouble of having to copy the
file then having to delete it from the old directory.
Select an option from the submenu to identify files to
be moved. This command only works with directories on a
single drive. It will not move files from one drive to
another. See Common Submenu Options.
Rename: Changes the name of a file. Select an option from the
submenu to identify the file (or files) to be renamed.
This command is useful for changing the file extension
of a large number of files.
Tag: This command tags a file, marking it as the target of a
command. When working with a group of files (copying,
deleting, moving, etc.) it is usually much faster to
tag all the files you want affected by the operation,
then execute the command only once.
Options:
Go To: Lets you change the current drive and/or
directory.
Home: Brings you to the directory you were in when you
entered the File Manager.
Mask: Changes the file mask to any wild-card combination
you choose.
Mkdir: Creates a new directory. It functions exactly like
the DOS command of the same name.
Order: Selects the order in which files are listed in the
current directory.
Dir: Lists all directories first.
Ext: Lists files in alphabetical order
by file extension.
Files: Lists files before directories.
Name: Lists files in alphabetical order
by filename.
Reverse: Lists files in reverse order.
Size: Lists files by file size.
Time: Lists files by the time and date
they were last changed.
Search: Allows you to search for a
particular file. Wild-card
characters (* and ?) can be part of
the name to search.
Common Submenu Options:
Of the options available from the File Manager menu,
Attribute, Copy, Delete, Move, and Rename offer the
following options from a submenu. These options let you
select which files will be affected by the command being
executed:
All: Affects all files in the directory that are
displayed under the current file mask.
Single: Only affects the highlighted file.
Tagged: Affects all the files that you've previously
tagged. See Tag.
Untagged: Affects all untagged files in the directory that
are displayed under the current file mask.
