Protecting and erasing programs in $MDI

The $MDI file is generally intended for short programs that are only
needed temporarily. Nevertheless, you can store a program, if
necessary, by proceeding as described below:
Select the Programming and Editing mode of
operation.
To call the file manager, press the PGM MGT key
(program management).
Mark the $MDI file.
To select the file copying function, press the COPY
soft key.
DESTINATION FILE =
Enter the name under which you want to save the
HOLE
current contents of the $MDI file.
Copy the file.
To close the file manager, press the END soft key.
Erasing the contents of the $MDI file is done in a similar way: Instead
of copying the contents, however, you erase them with the DELETE
soft key. The next time you select the Positioning with MDI operating
mode, the TNC will display an empty $MDI file.
If you wish to delete $MDI, then
you must not have selected the Positioning with MDI
mode (not even in the background)
you must not have selected the $MDI file in the
Programming and Editing mode.
For more information: see "Copying a single file", page 128.
