Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Additional Memory And Programs
Files saved on the Internal disk and “open” programs both use memory. So, if the
memory is nearly full you should be able to free some memory by closing some pro-
grams. You can use the List open files command from the File menu in the System
screen to check which programs are running, and then close the programs or files
that you do not need to have open.
You can also delete any unwanted files from the System screen, or move files to a
multimedia card or your PC to free more memory.
6.10.2 Additional Memory And Programs
You can insert multimedia cards into the slot on the right-hand side of the netpad.
You might use them as additional memory for storing files, or to add more programs
to the netpad.
If a multimedia card contains additional programs:
their icons will automatically appear in the Program icon bar when you insert
the disk. They will be removed when you take out the card.
To delete all the files on a multimedia card:
put it in the slot, and then select the Format disk command from the Disk
menu; select D a s the ‘Disk’ in the Format disk dialogue.
Important:
Do not format the C disk - this will remove all the files you have
stored on the netpad’s internal disk, and remove all the preferences
and settings that you have set up.
Translated OPL programs that have not been made into applications will not appear
in the Program icon bar. If you wish to run a translated OPL program, locate the file
in the System screen, highlight the filename and tap it or press Enter to run it.
Can I run Series 3/3a/3c/3mx/5/5mx programs on a netpad?
There are no major differences between OPL for Series 3/5 machines and OPL for
the netpad. If you have written programs in OPL on a Series 3/5, you should be able
to translate them so that you can run them on a netpad. Series 3/3a/3c/3mx applica-
tions (which are not written as OPL programs) will not run on a netpad; however,
applications written for Series5/5mx should work but may not scale to cover the full
screen size.
