Creating a new directory

Directory structures help you to manage your program and data transparently. You can
create subdirectories in a directory on the local drive and on USB network drives.
In a subdirectory, in turn, you can create programs and then create program blocks for them.
Note
Directory names must end in .DIR or .WPD. The maximum name length is 28 characters
including the extension.
All letters (except accented characters), numbers, and underscores are permitted for name
assignment. These names are automatically converted to upper-case letters.
This limitation does not apply for work on USB/network drives.
