General Information on the Filehandler

As with any PC-based system, the filehandler accesses the data with logical file
names and not with physical memory addresses.
The following figure shows the layout of the "FILEHANDLER" program and how
it works.

The "FILEHANDLER" program is designed so that you can use the same func-
tions to access the files on the hand-held terminal and the files on the MDS.
The directory display is available for both the hand-held terminal and the MDS.
MDS files can be copied from the MDS to the hand-held terminal (and vice
versa) with just a few keys.
An optional connection to the PC (3link cable, see appendix A.1) permits you to
exchange files stored on the hand-held terminal with the PC.
You can then process the data with your familiar PC programs (e.g., WORD,
EXCEL, and so on). Prerequisite: The PC application must support the con-
tents and data structure of the MDS file. See also chapter 6.
