Psion subdirectory usage in file select dialogs
In the Workabout file selection dialogs, you are only presented with information
about the file name and the drive it is on. No subdirectory information is given, and
this can cause confusion.
You can see which subdirectory you are currently working in by pressing
Tab
to
bring up the file directory display.
If you change the filename or drive in the dialog, you should be aware that the
Workabout takes the subdirectory information from the original file, unless you
specify otherwise. For example, if you copy a file from the root directory on drive
A:
to another drive, it will be copied into the root directory of the drive you are copying
to.
To get to the directories press
Menu, then the yellow arrow keys
to select Disk, Directory, and then
press Enter

listed here. To operate on the
highlighted file press Menu for
various options.
