The pathname is what makes a file unique. Two files can have the same name
(such as hiding .t xt) but not the same full pathname. In the Filer—and in
all applications—you may need to move "up" and "down" the paths in order to find
and store files where you want them: You move "down" a path by highlighting a
subdirectory and pressing ENTER). You move "up" a path by highlighting * « « and
pressing (ENTER). This ™ . a represents theparent directory—the directory contain-
ing the current directory. Practice in the Filer and get comfortable with paths,
pathnames and searching directories, before you attempt file transferring or file
translation with the Connectivity Pack.
The Built-In Files and Directories
On the Palmtop's C# (internal) disk, the root directory (C2) is built-in and
contains, in turn, two built-in subdirectories and several other special files. To
displayit, press (F5) (E{=RE®) type C2 , and press (ENTER). You'll see a listinglike this:

CHKDSK .EXE is the DOS CHecKDiSK command, which examines how a disk's
memory is being used.
COMMAND . COM is the program that starts the DOS interface.
TF .COM is the DOS-version of a game called Tiger Fox (see page 121).
The underscore character (—) indicates built-in directories and data files. The last
five files listed above are 1-2-3 worksheet templates that you cannot delete or
modify (you copy them and modify the copies). And there are two subdirectories,
—DAT and _5YS also built into ROM. You can see the DAT subdirectory listed
here, but not the SYS subdirectory. Why not?...
