To copy to another subdirectory, you must add that information to the filename you
choose. If you only put a subdirectory name in the filename field, then the
Workabout will use the original filename, but with the new subdirectory. A
subdirectory name always starts
and ends
with “
\
”, for example
\SUN\
. If you are in
any doubt about what is happening, include the complete subdirectory path and
filename (but not the drive) in the filename field.
Re-installing the SunData application icon
If the Psion Logo Start-up screen (see previous page) has been accessed, the
SunData application may not be automatically re-installed on returning to the Psion
System screen, and the SunData icon will no longer be shown.
Re-installing SunData is quite simple. From the Psion system screen:
♦
Press
Menu, Disk, Directory, Enter
and make sure that the files
SunData.app
and
Sys$8087.ldd
are present in the
\SUN\
directory on the Internal Disk. Press
On/Esc
to return to the System screen.
♦
Press
Menu, Apps, Install, Enter, Tab,
then move to
\SUN\
and press
Enter
, then
select
SunData.app
and press
Enter.
You will now see the Install dialog box with Filename SunData.app specified.
♦
Check that
Disk
is specified as
Internal
. The Position of the icon in the System
screen can be specified too. When all the settings in the dialog box are
satisfactory, press
Enter
to accept them.
The Sundata icon should now be present in the System screen.
The identical process can be used subsequently for installing an upgraded version of
the SunData.app program if one is issued.
Deleting unwanted Workabout files
You can delete files from the either the internal memory or the SSDs of the
Workabout using its own file handling procedures as follows:
♦
On the Workabout, exit from SunData (if necessary) by pressing
∪
∪
∪
∪
+X
.
♦
In the System Screen, press
Menu, Disk, Directory, Enter
.
♦
Press
←
←
←
←
or
→
→
→
→
to select Disk [
A
] (or whichever Disk your file is on).
♦
Press
↑↑↑↑
or
↓↓↓↓
to highlight the filename of the file you want to delete.
♦
Press
Menu, Delete file, Enter
,
then respond to the confirmatory dialogue box.
You will find that no extra space is created on your SSD by deleting the files. The
only way to liberate space on the SSD is to re-format it after removing all valuable
files from it.
Flashcards - reformatting
The Flashcard (SSD) medium (unlike the Workabout internal memory) is such a
secure form of data storage that the only way to make it rewriteable is to reformat it.
If your Flashcard drive directory shows much less free space than the you would
expect from the difference between 256K (the full amount) and the files shown on it,
then you may want to reformat it. Check this with:
♦
Menu, Disk, Directory, Enter
, then select the drive with
←
←
←
←
or
→
→
→
→
Reformatting will destroy any files left on the Flashcard. Make sure you have
already transferred all valuable data files to a PC using SunData's file transfer
procedure.
