7.3.3 Contextual Menu while in the Double Browser
By using the unique Archos double browser system, you can copy or move files from one location in the file structure to another (caution: there is a limit of 1000 files per folder). While in the Browser mode, you simply click the RIGHT control and a second browser panel will open. You can jump between the two panels using the LEFT/RIGHT buttons. When the title of the folder is highlighted, this is the active folder. The file highlighted within this active folder will be copied, that is to say, it is the source for the copy. The other panel will be the destination folder.
Once you have decided on the destination folder, move to the source browser panel, highlight the file to copy, and then click on the MENU button. You can now choose Copy to copy the highlighted file, Copy All to copy all the files in that folder to the destination folder, or Move to move it to the destination folder. Other options such as Info, Delete, Rename and Create Folder are addressed above.

7.4 Using the Virtual Keyboard
If you want to create folders and rename files or folders, it is recommended to do so from your computer when it is connected to the Archos™ 204. The computer keyboard is easier to use. At times, however, you are not near your computer and you would like to enter the text directly with the Archos™ 204. For this, you will use the Virtual Keyboard. You will be taken to this screen when you rename a file or folder or create a new folder. You will use the LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN controls to move around the keyboard. Click on ENTER to enter the character that is highlighted. Once your text is entered, select Enter on the bottom right.
