Using Files From Another Disc - Acorn computer econet level 2/3 User Manual

EXAMPLE
Type: *DISCS[RETURN]
Screen: drive

Every disc used on your file server is an independent filing
system, with its own root directory and tree of directories and
files.
When you switch discs, the file server logs you on to the new disc.
Unless you have a main directory on both discs, it will select the
new disc's root directory $ as your current directory. You will have
only public access to it.

Using files from another disc

You can use a directory or file from another disc without
logging on to it.
You do this by specifying the disc name when giving a command.
Type the disc name before you give the name of the file or
directory you want.
Type: <command> :<dn>.<pn>[RETURN]
<dn> here stands for disc name; <pn> stands for pathname.
EXAMPLES
*CAT :DISC2.$
*DIR :MASTER-DISC.$.ROBERT.TUNES
*INFO :WORKDISC.$.JULIE.A
When specifying files using this method, the $. is optional.
