DISK MANAGER COMMAND MODULE OPERATION
The Disk Manager Command Module is used to perform operations that are impossible
or inconvenient in TI BASIC. The module lets you store, retrieve, or manage files by
choosing options and giving answers to prompts on the display screen.
Certain key functions that appear on the display are as follows.
•
PROC'D - Pressing
PROC'D
causes the computer to perform the action
that was requested or to repeat the current process.
•
REDO - Pressing
REDO
enables you to start again at the top of the
current display so that you can make changes in the answers to your
prompts.
•
BEGIN - Pressing
BEGIN
takes you back to the main Disk Manager
selection list.
•
BACK - Pressing
BACK
takes you back to the previous index (selection
list).
(Note:
These options are always active when the cursor appears on the screen.)
Some prompts already have an answer in place. These preprogrammed responses
(default values)
represent common or usual answers to these prompts. If the answer is
the one you want, just press
ENTER
to confirm it. If you want to give a different
response, type the response you want and then press
ENTER.
Editing
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To leave the Disk Manager Command Module without
the chance of losing any programs or data stored on
the diskette, follow this procedure:
1. Press
BEGIN
to return to the initial Disk Manager index.
2. Then press
BACK
to leave the module, closing all files.
If you want to correct a typing error before you press
ENTER,
use the left-arrow key to
move the cursor back to the character you want to change. Retype the correct
character(s).
You also can erase a line (before pressing
ENTER)
by pressing
CLEAR.
In certain applications, DELETE and INSERT also are active.
After you have pressed
ENTER,
you must press
REDO
to change or correct entries.
File Commands
The first option on the main selection list of the Disk Manager module is FILE
COMMANDS. Choosing this option gives you access to the commands that operate on
individual files rather than the entire disk.
