Navigating Psion directories and screens
The Workabout User Guide
At this stage you may want to learn more about operating the Workabout, so you
should refer again to the Workabout User Guide in which the following subjects are
well covered.
•
Keyboard
and LCD screen - pages 8,9
•
Key functions
and combination keypresses - pages 10,11
•
The System Screen
and
Menus and dialogs
- pages 38-42
•
Solid State Disk drives
- pages 12, 35
•
Basic operation
and troubleshooting - pages 13,14,16,17-20
When the User Guide refers to "application developers" and functions under
"application control", this means that Delta-T and the SunData program may use
some of the keys for special functions.
Warning! Look at "Changing the system-wide settings" - pages 23-24, but for the
moment do not change any of these! They may well make the SunData screens look
or behave somewhat differently from the examples in the SunScan documentation.

"Hot keys"
You will see that many menu options provide a hot key combination for rapid access
- for example pressing
∪
∪
∪
∪
+L
in the Psion System Screen will take you straight into the
Remote Link dialog box. This is often a very convenient form of "shorthand" for
keyboard operations when you have learnt them. Note though, that the hot keys are
application specific - pressing
∪
∪
∪
∪
+L
in the SunData program will take you to the
Autolog function.
Navigating the Psion directories and screens
The Workabout's file directories are structured just like DOS, but because the Psion
screen is much more limited for space, the method of displaying and navigating
around the directories is illustrated in the following examples.
