15.15.1 Switching to a Directory Structure.
You can choose to use directories at any prompt for a folder name, not just in the File Manager. For
example, from the File Manager Menu select Copy File and then select a drive such as the Flash
Disk. KeySoft prompts: "Source folder name? (Last used folder)."
If you now press SPACE with T, KeySoft replies, for example:
"Source directory name? /(Last used folder)" where "/(Last used folder)", is the last used
directory.
You can select directories in exactly the same way when using the File Manager, Directory option.
15.15.2 Accessing Files in Another Directory.
Following on from the previous section, there are two basic ways to choose a different directory at
this point. You could type the full name, including slashes, etc., but this can be rather prone to
errors, especially if you are not sure of the arrangement of the directories.
Alternatively, you can browse the directory structure to find what you want. This is rather like using
KeySoft's menus. You can move "down" by selecting a sub-directory from a list, or move "up" by
selecting the parent.
You can review any list of available directories in several ways: To navigate down a list, press
SPACE with dot 4, SPACE or ADVANCE. To navigate up the list again, press SPACE with dot 1,
or BACK or BACKSPACE. To go back up a level in the directory structure, press
SPACE with dots 2-3. To make a selection, press NEXT or ENTER. If you know that you are not
in a low enough level directory to find the folder you want, you can bypass the
"Directory name? Press ENTER for /name" prompts at each level by pressing
SPACE with dots 5-6 instead of ENTER.
Let's see how this works. For the purposes of this example, we will assume that we are currently in
the "/General" directory on the Flash Disk and we wish to go to the "/KeyMail/Attachments"
directory. You could be at any "Folder name?" prompt on KeySoft, although the exact prompts
will vary. The example is taken from the Open a Document function in KeyWord. At the prompt,
press SPACE with T.
1. At the "Directory name? Press ENTER for /General" prompt, navigate up to the parent
directory by pressing SPACE with dots 2-3. KeySoft displays:
"Directory name? Press ENTER for /". This is a list of sub-directories of the Flash Disk.
2. Navigate down through the list until "KeyMail" is displayed. Either press SPACE with dots 5-6,
or do the following:
1. Press ENTER to select KeyMail, and KeySoft displays:
"Directory name? Press ENTER for /KeyMail".
2. Press SPACE repeatedly to see the sub-directories within the KeyMail directory.
