Copy a File

This action applies to the file currently selected; so to copy another file you must first key in the number of the file to be copied and press ENTER.

Press Copy, the Copy Screen appears.

Key in the file number to which the file currently selected is to be copied, press ENTER, the Copy Method Screen appears.

Normally, you select Yes, in which case you are returned to the File Menu Screen.

When you select No or Prev you are also returned to the File Menu Screen.

If the destination file already exists (and is not locked), you are asked to confirm that you wish to overwrite; select Yes and the Method previously stored in the destination file is destroyed.

File Directory

The file directory allows you to visualize the file numbers currently assigned. Press Dir, the file directory for the first set of file numbers appears (1 to 9). Thereafter, a file directory exists for each decade (range of ten numbers), for example Method 10 [-1—5-78-]; in this example, files 11, 15, 17 and 18 exist. You use the Prev and Next keys to move between decades.

Files may be numbered from 1 to 99; so the last decade is Method 90. You press the ESC key to return to the File Menu Screen.
