15.15.3 Relationship Between Folders and Directories.
All folders are directories in the root directory of a drive, with the exception of the folder called
"None," which is the root directory itself. Sub-directories below this level are not accessible in
folder mode.
15.16 Creating Renaming and Erasing
Sub-Directories.
It is possible to browse, create, rename and erase any sub-directories using a variation on the same
processes for browsing, creating, renaming and erasing folders. This is because, as discussed before,
they are basically one and the same, only used in a different way. It is important to know how to do
this if you find that you cannot erase a seemingly empty folder, as it almost definitely contains
sub-directories that are not visible in that folder.
Three procedures are listed below in a step by step format. You may notice that the prompts refer to
both folders and directories, but it still works! Please note also that if you wish to create a
sub-directory that is deeper than root level, for example /general/recipes/brownies, this whole
“branch” will be displayed at prompts that include "/folder name."
15.16.1 Browsing a Sub-Directory.
When opening a document in the File Manager, you may need to browse through a list of folders
and file names to find the one you want. To browse a sub-directory, follow these steps:
1. From the Main Menu, press F for File Manager and then D for Directory.
2. Change from folder to directory by pressing CONTROL with T.
3. KeySoft prompts: "Directory name?." Either press SPACE and search through the list of
folders until you find the one you want, or if you have many folders to search through, type the
path instead. You will now be able to view the first level of folders.
4. Move down the list of folders and press ENTER once you find the sub-folder you want.
KeySoft will now prompt: "Directory name? Press ENTER for /downloads." Now either
press ENTER to select the downloads or return to the list of downloads and select My
Subdirectory at the next level down.
5. KeySoft will display the subdirectory in /downloads, for example, "test". Press ENTER to
select "test" and KeySoft will prompt: "Directory name? Press ENTER
for /downloads/test." If you press ENTER at this point and "test" is the last subdirectory in
the list, KeySoft will prompt: "List of files in (directory name)?."
