UTILITY MODE
1. Move the cursor to the type of data you wish to
save and then press ENTER to get the following
display.
This indicates the type of data you selected in
the previous display.
This area will display the names of all disk files
of the type you selected. Move the cursor in this
area or use the numeric keys to select a disk file
1-99 to which the data will be saved. Unused
files are indicated by a "*" mark. If you save the
data without changing the name, the "*" will
disappear.
The LCD can show only ten filenames at once.
To see the rest of the filenames press F1
F2 to scroll the filename display up or down.
If you want to change the name of the selected
file then press F7 (Name) and you will enter the
job explained in the following section 1.1 Save to
disk filename.

1.1 Save to disk filename

If you want to save the data to the selected file
without modifying the name, press F8 (Go).
2. Data is stored on disk in files. Move the cursor
to select a disk file to which the selected data
will be saved.
3. To save the data from SY77 memory to the
selected file, press F8 (Go).
4. If data already exists in the selected file, the
bottom line of the display will ask "Overwrite ?
(Yes or No)". If you do not need to keep the old
data in the file then press YES and the old data
will be overwritten. If the old data is important
then press NO and select a different file.
Filename: Since the SY77 recognizes each disk file
by its number not by its filename it is possible
for two or more files to be given the same name.
However it is a good idea to name each file as a
reminder of the contents.
Enter an eight-character name for the file.
To clear the currently entered name press Fl
(Clr). To switch to upper-case characters press
F2 (Uppr). To switch to lower-case characters
press F3 (Lowr).
After entering a name for the disk file press F8
(Go). The bottom line of the display will ask
"Are you sure ?" If you are sure that you want
to save the data then press YES and the data
will be saved to the specified disk file.
Remarks: Methods of entering character data are
explained in How to enter data of the Intro-
ductory manual.
Note that the actual disk save operation can
be executed either from this 1.1 Save to disk file-
name job or from the 1. Save to disk job.
