Disk 6•3
THE FILE SELECTOR
The File Selector corresponds to the second level
of disk operations and is accessed by confirming
the command specified in the main page. Once
in the file selector, you can select the source
files and respective destinations.
The file selector is divided into two columns
showing (a) the source file directory (a contents
list) and (b) the destination directory. All «Disk»
operations, except the Erase command and the
Utility, copy or move files from a source to a des-
tination (e.g. from disk to RAM).
The direction of the copy or move operation is
shown in the status bar by an arrow pointing the
direction and the names of the
source
and
des-
tination
files.
The source device can be a floppy disk, the Hard
Disk or RAM. The device is selected with the
Soft buttons F1, F2 and F3.
Empty locations are represented by a broken line.
If you select a destination already occupied by a
file, the existing file is replaced by the incoming
one.
