7.3.3 Contextual Menu while in the Double Browser
By using the unique Archos double browser system, you can copy or move fi les
from one location in the fi le structure to another (caution: there is a limit of 1000
fi les 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 fi le 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 fi le to copy, and then click on the MENU button. You can now choose
Copy to copy the highlighted fi le, Copy All to copy all the fi les 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
7.4 Using the Virtual Keyboard
If you want to create folders and rename fi les or folders, it is recommended to do so from your computer when
it is connected to the Gmini. 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 Gmini. For this, you will use the Virtual Keyboard.
You will be taken to this screen when you rename a fi le 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.
