A .. 7. User Areas
Each drive can be subdivided into up to 16 so-called user
areas,
which
are numbered from 0 to 15.
Normally, you are in user area 0. But if you
feel
that there are more files on your Winchester disk than manageable,
you can change the user area by means of the command
=>
USER.
Programs
can
only access files within the same user area,
with the exception of
user
area
!if.
SYS.TEM files (i.e.
files with a set
SYSTEM
attribute)
allocated to user area 0 are "-global
11
or
11
public
11
•
They can be erad from
any other user area, but they· cannot be· altered. Therefore you can avoid
to keep a copy of each program you need in each user area.
However,
if you are using the menu program instead of the SHELL command
interpreter,
you
have bad luck:
the menu program does not
allow
for
changing user areas.
In this case,
you have to stay in user area 0 for
all of your activities.
