Cursor keys move the pointer. To select a file, use the arrow
keys to highlight the file and directory names within the Direc-
tory and File windows. Press
Enter
to move the cursor from the

Character keys execute an XTREE command. The available
XTREE commands appear on the DIR/COMMANDS or
FILE/COMMANDS line at the bottom of your screen. The
highlighted letter of the word (D in Delete, for example)
indicates the key you press to execute the command. You can
execute some commands on more than one file or directory by
tagging all the desired files or directories with the Tag com-
mand, and then holding down the Ctrl key as you press the
character key.
Alt key commands execute additional XTREE commands. The
available XTREE commands appear on the DIR/COMMANDS
or FILE/COMMANDS line when you press the
Alt
key. To
execute
the command, hold down the
Alt
key and press the
highlighted letter of the command name.
Function keys control XTREE itself. Press
F1 to quit
XTREE,
press F2 to display a screen of help information, and press F3 to
cancel a command. XTREE displays the available commands
and the key that executes the command on the lower right of
your screen.
There are many ways you can put XTREE to work. All disk
setup and maintenance functions can benefit from this utility.
You can add XTREE to batch files like any other MS-DOS
command-you could even put it in an AUTOEXEC.BAT file
to display a disk’s file structure when you turn on the computer.
