Entries marked with a "<DIR>" extension indicate a subdirectory. When you select a
subdirectory, the first two entries are displayed as ". <DIR>" and ". . <DIR>". As with
DOS, "." refers to the actual directory and ". ." to the parent directory. Thus, if you do a
"Newdir" command on the ". . <DIR>", you will return to the previous directory.
Entries marked as "Drive A:" or "Drive B:" allow you to change drives/directories or to
select files. "DRIVE A/B: TO CHOOSE FILES" is used to select files. "DRIVE A/B:
COMPLETE COPY" is used to make an exact copy of a floppy disk to Flash. This last
function resembles a DOS DISKCOPY command. When this mode of transfer is chosen,
no other files can be sent along with the diskette files. Note that you cannot use a write-
protected floppy disk to create a bootable Flash disk.
The bottom of the screen is dedicated to the MESSAGE AREA and MENU
COMMANDS.
The MESSAGE AREA gives indications and warnings with respect to file selection
operations.
The MENU COMMANDS begin with a highlighted letter or identifier which indicates the
key to press in order to execute the desired function. The following commands are
available:
TAG: Use this function to select a file from the above file list. Simply move the cursor
over the desired field and press T on your keyboard. The file will then be highlighted -
indicating it was selected. If you press T again, you deselect the file.
UNTAG: This function is used to deselect a chosen file from the above list of files. To
use this function, simply move the cursor over the desired file and press U.
BLOCK: This function is used to mark a group of files for selection or deselection.
Move the cursor to the beginning of the first file you wish to select and press on the B key
(a "Ø" symbol will be displayed after "Block" in the command area to remind you that a
block has been entered). Then, move the cursor to the last file of the group and press B
again (a "×" will appear next to the "Ø" indicating that a block definition is now
complete). The block of outlined files are now ready to be "Tagged" or "Untagged".
MAKE BOOTABLE: Choose this function to move files you wish to make bootable into
the FILE SELECTION area (to appear in the LIST OF SELECTED FILES screen). The
system will then prompt you for the drive which contains the system files (Note that the
source should not be a Flash disk, since these are read-only and write protected). Once the
selected files are found, the "Make Bootable" command will be changed to "BOOTABLE
DISK". This confirms that the Flash disk will be bootable.
