Creating Directories
As stated above, Version 3 allows you to create directories for organizing your K2000 files,
whether you are using SCSI or floppy disks. No reformatting is necessary to add directories to
disks that were formatted with previous versions of the K2000 software (version 2.08 and
before).
Directories appear in the normal file list with the indicator to the right of the directory
(dir)
name.
There are two ways to create new directories with Version 3.
First, the NewDir button can be pressed directly from the Disk mode page, or second, a new
directory can be created and entered in one step during the Save operation, by pressing
Save, then pressing NewDir.

Creating a Directory with NewDir

When you press NewDir, you will first name the directory that you are about to make, for
instance:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Directory|name:|THINGS||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Delete|Insert|>>End||Choose||OK|||Cancel
This file name dialog has some new features and changes that have been added for Version 3.
You will see the same dialog for all file naming functions in Version 3. The difference from
previous versions is that the secondary cursor soft buttons (formerly <<< and >>>) have been
removed in favor or the >>End and the Choose buttons. Pressing >>End will take the cursor to
the last character in the name.
The Choose button allows you to grab a file name from the current disk (this is discussed later,
in the section titled Saving Files (page 4-21). Otherwise, as in previous versions, the name will
default to either NEWFILE after a power-up, or the name will be that of the most recent file
saved or loaded. Once you choose a name to start with (or the default), you can edit the name
using the Left and Right cursor buttons, the Delete and Insert soft buttons, and the >>End soft
button.
