This directory tree lets you separate business word processing files from personal word processing files, and sales spreadsheets from spreadsheet files used for financial projections.
Your directory structure may be as simple as this example or much more complex. Organize your disk(s) to suit your needs. As your needs change, you can modify the structure by deleting old directories and creating new ones.
Here are some additional points about directories:
Name subdirectories the same way you name files. The name can include up to eight characters (letters or numbers), and you can add an extension of up to three characters.
The root directory does not have a name. It is identified by the backslash character: \.
The total number of files and subdirectories in the root directory must not exceed 512 on a hard disk or 112 on a 1.44MB diskette.
All directories other than the root directory can have any number of files and subdirectories.
Like hard disks, diskettes have root directories, and you can create subdirectories on diskettes the same way as you create subdirectories on a hard disk.
The following sections describe how to create, use, and delete directories.
