The Utilities (UTILS) Page
Pressing the UTILS soft button calls up the Utilities page, where the PC3LE displays the
contents of the current directory, in an alphabetized scrolling list. Use the Utilities page to create,
directories, and delete, rename or copy directories and files.
On the Utilities page, the path field and a directory is shown and the display shows the 3-
character extension of all files in the directory (except directories themselves). Extensions are
created when the file is saved by the PC3LE. You cannot modify the extensions on the PC3LE.
This is because the PC3LE uses the extensions to tell it what kind of data the files contain.
Directories created by the PC3LE have up to 8-character names, with no extension.
The .MID extension is used by the PC3LE for MIDI Type 0 or Type 1 sequence files.

Parent
When you first open a directory for viewing, the index is 1 (the first file in the list). The PC3LE
remembers the index of the previous directory you were in before you pressed Open, so if you
return to that directory by pressing Parent, the index changes accordingly. This index is
remembered for one level down, and therefore is useful when stepping through a list of
subdirectories from a single directory level.

Format

USB devices come formatted and ready to use with the PC3LE. If you ever need to format a
device, however, you can use any computer with USB device formatting capability, or format it
using the PC3LE.
To format a USB device with the PC3LE, plug the USB device into the PC3LE's USB Storage
port, then press the Storage button to enter Storage mode. Press the soft button labeled Format.
The PC3LE will ask you if you want to format. Press the OK soft button to format the device, or
the Cancel soft button to return to the Storage mode main page.
Caution: Formatting will erase all files on the USB device, make sure anything that you wish
to save is backed up on another device.
