GPP DATA PATH

T

he GPP Data Path option of the GPP Module menu lets you

specify the drive and directory path where the T/Shell

database configuration files will be stored. This is particularly
useful for running the program on a dual diskette system. Such
a setup might use Drive A for the program disk and Drive B for
the disk that holds the configuration files. This type of setup
allows you to access different configurations easily by simply
swapping disks.

Here is the GPP Edit screen with the Edit Data Path windows:

The current data path is shown in the upper window. The lower
window displays any database configurations that are stored at
the current path.

To change the data path:

1.

Type the new path.

Sample path specifications are shown below:

B:\

C:\TSHELL\GPP\DATA

C:\TSHELL\GPP\TEST

NOTE:

If you specify a drive without a path (for example A: or C:), the
current path of that drive is loaded into the Data Path
parameter.

2.

Press Enter.

3.

Press F8 to save the new path.
