Creating and Changing Directories. When there are many files, it becomes difficult to manage them. Placing all files of the same type into separate directories makes it easier to manage the files.
In addition to files, directories can also contain sub-directories. With directories, hierarchical structures can be constructed with successive directories. Directories are distinguished by their names. The original directory that contains all the files and directories is called the root directory and the directories within it are called sub-directories.
This instrument can make directories to manage files the same as with MS-DOS. Directories are created with the Make Directory side menu item. The suffix ª.DIRº is attached to created directories.
To operate on a certain file within a given sub-directory, it is necessary to move to that sub-directory. Thus, use the Change Directory side menu item to move to the desired sub-directory. The next directory is now the object of any future operations and is called the current directory. The LOAD/SAVE menu can be used to change directories too.
The setting of the LOAD/SAVE menu and Auto Load determine the directory at power on. When the Auto Load item is set to Disk, the AWG2021 sub-directory is selected automatically . (In this case, this AWG2021 sub-directory must exist.) If Auto Load is Off, the current directory is the root directory.
