Files and directories
To create a structure like this, you will need to save files, create directories and copy
files into them. These procedures are described on the following pages.
To practise saving files, you'll need a work disc of your own. Create one by
taking a new disc and formatting it, as described in Formatting a floppy disc on
page 32. Give it the name W
orkDisc
. Make sure the disc isn't write-protected,
or you won't be able to save files on it.
A fuller description of the filing system is given in the RISC OS 3 User Guide, in the
chapter entitled Discs, networks and filing systems.
Creating a new directory
1 Open a directory display
Decide where you want to create the new
directory, and open a directory display.
For example, put your work disc in the floppy disc
drive and click on the floppy disc icon on the icon
bar.
2 Display the Filer menu
Click Menu (middle) button with the pointer
somewhere over the directory display, and the
Filer menu will appear.
3 Select New directory
Highlight the New directory option, and move the
pointer over the arrow to the right of the option. A
writable menu box will appear.
4 Type in the directory name
Type in the name you want to give the new
directory.
Call it TestFiles1, for example.
5 Click on the new directory name
Click on the new name (or press the Return key)
to create the directory.
An icon for the new directory will appear in the
directory display.
