Select Data Disk, Path This selection allows you to reset the location of the question lists. The program will automatically use the location of the Test Generator program when it is first run. If you have a second disk drive, or if you are running the Test Generator from a fixed drive (drive C:), you may want to store your question lists on a separate data disk or in a data subdirectory. The syntax for entering the new data location is: d:\path where "d" is the drive letter, and "path" is the name of the subdirectory. Examples: B: data is stored on drive B A: data is stored on drive A C:\DATA data is stored on fixed disk C in subdirectory \DATA C:\HM\DATA data is stored on fixed disk C in subdirectory \HM\DATA end
