Common Dialogues
These are dialogues that the PC3K calls up when about to perform certain storage functions.
The Select Directory Dialogue
When storing an object—or group of objects—the PC3K prompt's you to select a directory in
which to save that object or group.
There are three navigating soft buttons on the left side of the bottom of the page:
NewDir
Open
Parent
When you have chosen your directory, press the OK soft button to call up the File Name
dialogue (see the following section) and completes the storing process.
The File Name/New Directory/Rename Dialogue
When you create a new file in Storage mode, create a new directory, or rename a file or directory,
the PC3K prompts you to enter the object's name. This File Name dialogue appears as shown
below, although both the New Directory and Rename appear and function similarly to the File
Name dialogue:
New file names will default to either FILENAME (after a powerup), or the name will be that of
the most recent file saved or loaded. New directory names will default to either DIRNAME
(after a powerup), 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 << and >> soft buttons.
Pressed OK soft button saves the object in the current directory.
The display shows that the PC3K has created or renamed the object, then the Storage mode page
reappears.
