DATA FILER
The user fields available are the following:
o
Floppy Disk
or
Memory
: selectable using the [F2] function key – this field allows
the user to define the memory unit to be Sorted, with the aid of the encoder.
o
By Name
or
By Size
: [F3] – sets the way in which the files are to be arranged, i.e.

o
Ascending

Descending
: [F4] – sets whether the files are to be sorted in
ascending or descending order.
After having set all the parameters required, press the [ENTER] key: the Genius will sort the

will abort the operation and the display will return to the main video page of the Disk menu.

cases, the procedure concerned will be abandoned immediately.
