1.The entry fields show the parameters for the files viewed. Entry fields that are being modified or are modifiable are indicated by highlighting (inverse video). Each file menu function has its own unique set of entry fields pertaining to that function. Below are the fields listed under the catalog key:

a.Name: field states the filename.

b.Show Type: field displays the type of files viewed.

c.Path: field displays the drive and directory location of the files.

2.The directory information box displays the drives, directories, and/or files currently described in the entry fields. Highlighting a row of information selects that location and updates the entry fields. There are four column headings in this area of the display. They are described as follows:

a.Name: column states the drive ([-A-]or [-C-]) if at the top level on the drive, directory name, or filename.
