Prompt:
A character or set of characters, produced by an operating
system or application program, signifying the space in
which a command must be entered, so the computer can per-

Root Directory:
The ProDOS data structure on a logical drive in which the
name and attributes of files and subdirectories one level
down from the root are recorded. The name of the root
directory itself is the back slash symbol
(I).
The root direc-

surface during the format sequence.
Subdirectory:
A secondary ProDOS file that contains a list of additional
subdirectories or file names and their attributes. A major

Terminator Plug:
The device that terminates the communication stream from
the computer to the Sider. It is always attached to the last
sider in a daisy-chain configuration.
Track:
Circular pattern on a fixed disk or floppy diskette, on which
data is magnetically recorded and retrieved, equaling 32 sec-

Tree-Structured
In ProDOS, a n efficient file storage method. Graphically
Directory:
resembling a “family tree,” the tree-structure begins with a
root directory that contains a listing of subdirectory titles.
The subdirectories, in turn, contain listings of other sub-
directories of rile names. The commands that lead the com-
puter from the root directory through the subdirectories to a
specific file are called path names.
