at a time. Therefore you simply choose the Þle you want and press OK. The K2600 will then ask
you to enter a new name, which you can do a number of ways: Alpha Wheel, Up/Down cursor
buttons, alphanumeric buttonpad, or keyboard naming (see page 5-5 for a description of
keyboard naming). Once youÕve done this, press OK again, and the Þlename will be changed.

Deleting Files and Directories

Press the Delete soft button (from Disk mode) to delete Þles and directories. The Delete function
supports multiple selection of Þles for deletion. Select one or more Þles and/or directories to be
deleted, and press OK (or Cancel to abort). Be careful! You donÕt get a second chance to change
your mind once youÕve pressed OK. Once a Þle is deleted, itÕs gone. Remember the fundamental
directive of computer users: Save early, save often; make backups.

When you press Delete, the File List dialog appears, and you can navigate through the
directories to choose the Þle or directory you want to delete.
Within the current directory, you can select multiple Þles for deletion. You canÕt, however, delete
Þles from more than one directory at a time. If you move to a different directory in the middle of
a deletion, any Þles you had selected up to that point get deselected.
You cannot delete directory if it has any Þles in it. To delete a directory, you must Þrst delete its
contents. Also, you canÕt use the Select soft button to select a directory for deletion. To delete a
directory (once itÕs empty, of course), highlight the directory and press OK. If the ConÞrm
parameter on the Master-mode page is set to On, the K2600 will ask you if youÕre sure. Press Yes
and the K2600 begins deleting the selected objects. If one of the selected objects is a directory
that contains Þles, the K2600 will tell you that it canÕt delete the directory.
When selecting Þles and directories for deletion, you can use the Open soft button to open
directories and Þles. Opening a directory at this point is useful for selecting Þles within the
directory. Opening a Þle is less useful, since you canÕt delete individual objects from Þles. You
can view the ÞleÕs contents, but you canÕt select any of them for deletion.
