To create a structure like this, you'll need to create directories, and save, copy or
move files into them.
To practise saving files, you'll need a work disc of your own. Create one by
taking a new disc and formatting it, as described in Formatting a floppy disc on
page 34. Give it the name WorkDisc. Make sure the disc isn't
write-protected, or you won't be able to save files on it.
A fuller description of the filing system is given in the RISC OS 3 User and
Applications Guide, in the chapter entitled Discs, networks and filing systems.
Creating a new directory
1 Open a directory display
Decide where you want to create the new
directory, and open a directory display.
For example, with your work disc in the floppy
disc drive, click on the floppy disc icon on the
icon bar.
2 Enter a name for your new directory
Move the pointer over the directory display,
click Menu to display the Filer menu.
Type in a name for your new directory in the
New directory/Name: writable menu box and
click on it (or press Return).
Call it TestFiles1, for example.
An icon for the new directory will appear in the
directory display.
Saving (and loading) a file
1 Open the directory display
Decide on the directory in which you want to
save your file, and double-click on its icon to
open a display for it.
For example, double-click on the
TestFiles1 directory you've just created.
