Creating Directories

Quick Scrolling to Subdirectories

It is sometimes difficult to locate a subdirectory entry in the file list for the current directory, if there are many files in the current directory. To make this easier, individually pressing either the Left or Right cursor buttons will set the file index to the previous or next directory (respectively) in the current directory list. The index will wrap around the beginning or end of the list, so that repeated presses of either cursor button will cycle through all of the subdirectories. If you have many subdirectories, you can scroll through them all very quickly using this method.

For example, given the following file list display:

CYMBALS(dir)

DOGS.K26122K

DOORS.K26*3456K

E4PROG.K2610K

LONGSMPS(dir)

LUTE.K26*.5K

Pressing the Right cursor takes you two entries further to the next directory:

DOORS.K26*3456K

E4PROG.K2610K

LONGSMPS(dir)

LUTE.K26*.5K

MOON.K26*3456K

TRIANGLE.K2610K

or, pressing the Left cursor takes you two entries back to the previous directory.

ALTO(dir)

BOOBAMS.K26*.5K

CYMBALS(dir)

DOGS.K26122K

DOORS.K26*3456K

E4PROG.K2610K

Creating Directories

As stated above, you can create directories for organizing your K2661 files, whether you are using SCSI or SmartMedia. You can create directories on any disk formatted by a K2661, K2600, K2500, or K2000.

Directories appear in the normal file list with the indicator (dir) to the right of the directory name.

There are two ways to create new directories.

•Press the NewDir button while on the Disk-mode page

•Press the NewDir button during the Save dialog.
