You may have directories within your sub-directories: you can
have as many layers of directories as you like, up to 255. To
specify a pathname for a file:
■
start with the sub-directory name
■
then list all the further directories, in order
■
end with the filename
■
separate all the elements with a full stop.
EXAMPLES
TUNES.FILM.STING PHIL.PROGS.
BASIC.SQUARES
Every command that takes a filename can take a file pathname.
EXAMPLE
If STING is a file in FILM, which is a directory within the sub-
directory TUNES, typing LOAD"STING" would produce the
error message "Not found".
To load the file STING
type:
LOAD"TUNES.FILM.STING"[RETURN]

specify a pathname for a directory:
■

■
then list all the further directories, in order
■
end with the directory name
■
separate all the elements with a full stop.
EXAMPLES
