File List Dialog
The File Index
On the right end of the top line is the Index field. This tells the position of the highlighted file
relative from the beginning of the file list. The first entry in a file list is index 1.

Typing a number on the K2500 numeric keypad will automatically scroll the display to the
corresponding entry in the file list. Typing an out of range value such as 999 is a quick shortcut
to get to the end of the file list.
In addition to remembering the current directory on the most recently used drive, the K2500
now also remembers the index within the file list for the current directory. For instance, if you
were to hit cancel on the above screen, and then either choose a different disk function (such as
Rename), or even if you exited Disk Mode, went to Program Mode, and then later returned to
Disk Mode to load a file off of the same drive, the file index would still show up on 3
(DOORS.KRZ). This index is remembered until a new drive is selected by scrolling the Current
Disk parameter on the Disk Mode page.
There are exceptions to this however. For example, when a file is written to the drive using the
Save function, the index will subsequently be set to the file that was just saved (see Save
function). The index can also be explicitly set using the List and Find utilities (see below).
If there are no files in the current directory, then the index is 0:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/0|||||Index:|||0|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||File|to|load:|||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|Total:|0K||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
You will also see that there is a blank cursor bar, but no file names are displayed.
The maximum number of files that can be accessed within a single directory is 360. If you have
more files than this amount in a single directory, then you will not be able to view the entries
past index 360.
While in this dialog, pressing the CHAN/BANK buttons (to the left of the LCD display) will
scroll the file list in either the forward or backward direction by "pages" of 5 entries. It is often
easier to scroll the list this way when looking to see if a particular file is present in a directory.
Soft Buttons in the File List Dialog
Use the Select soft button for multiple file selection in the Load, Delete, and Move functions. In
the display below, there are two files selected, as indicated by the asterisk ("*") after the .KRZ
file extension. If OK were pressed for the following screen,
