Each file menu function has its own unique set of entry fields pertaining to that function. Below are the fields listed under the catalog key:

a.Name: field states the filename.

b.Show Type: field displays the type of files viewed.

c.Path: field displays the drive and directory location of the files.

2.The directory information box displays the drives, directories, and/or files currently described in the entry fields. Highlighting a row of information selects that location and updates the entry fields. There are four column headings in this area of the display. They are described as follows:

a.Name: column states the drive ([-A-]or [-C-]) if at the top level on the drive, directory name, or filename.
