EXAMPLE
TUNES DL/
To create your own directories, you will need the command
*CDIR, which is explained in the section of this guide on Using
directories.

Deleting files

Type: *DELETE <filename>[RETURN]
and your file of that name will be permanently removed from
the disc. If, however, the file is protected, an "Entry locked"
message will appear on your screen, and you will not be able to
delete it.
The section below on Protecting your files explains how to use
the *ACCESS command to lock a file in this way.
To delete a sub-directory:
■ unlock all the files it contains, using *ACCESS
■ delete all those files, using *DELETE
■ delete the directory, using *DELETE.
The Using directories section of this guide explains how to
specify files inside sub-directories so that you can unlock and
delete them. You will not be able to delete a directory if someone
else on your network is using it.

Renaming files

You can change the name of any of your files.
Type: *RENAME <current><new>[RETURN]
<current> here stands for the current filename;
<new> for the new filename.
EXAMPLE
*RENAME TRYOUT WORK
This changes the name of the file TRYOUT to WORK.
*DELETE
*RENAME
