CREATING A DIRECTORY

The DOS operating system on the 95LX lets you create directories on your C drive. Like file folders in a file cabinet, these directories help you organize your hard disk by letting you store like files in one separate location. (One directory, _DAT, comes with the 95LX and is the location where most of the built-in applications automatically store their data.)

For instance, lets say your work involves a number of special projects. You can create a directory on your C drive to store all the files relating to your special projects. Enter FILER and (MENU) Directory, Create. Then type in the name you want to give your directory (e.g. C:\PROJECTS, where C:\ stands for the C drive and PROJECTS is the directory name). You can create a directory on the RAM card in your memory slot by entering the A drive name and filename (i.e. A:\PROJECTS).

After you have created the directory you can save files to it or move all your special project files to that directory. For instance, from MEMO you would save a file by pressing (MENU) File, Save then type in the file location and filename (e.g. C:\PROJECTS\FILENAME).
