Quick Scrolling to Subdirectories
It is sometimes difficult to locate a subdirectory entry in the file list for the current directory, if
there are many files in the current directory. To make this easier, individually pressing either the
Left or Right cursor buttons will set the file index to the previous or next directory (respectively)
in the current directory list. The index will wrap around the beginning or end of the list, so that
repeated presses of either cursor button will cycle through all of the subdirectories. If you have
many subdirectories, you can scroll through them all very quickly using this method.
For example, given the following file list display:
CYMBALS||||||(dir)|||||
DOGS|||||.K26||||122K||
DOORS||||.K26*||3456K||
E4PROG|||.K26|||||10K||
LONGSMPS|||||(dir)|||||
LUTE|||||.K26*||||.5K||
Pressing the Right cursor takes you two entries further to the next directory:
DOORS||||.K26*||3456K||
E4PROG|||.K26|||||10K||
LONGSMPS|||||(dir)|||||
LUTE|||||.K26*||||.5K||
MOON|||||.K26*||3456K||
TRIANGLE|.K26|||||10K||
or, pressing the Left cursor takes you two entries back to the previous directory.
ALTO|||||||||(dir)|||||
BOOBAMS||.K26*||||.5K||
CYMBALS||||||(dir)|||||
DOGS|||||.K26||||122K||
DOORS||||.K26*||3456K||
E4PROG|||.K26|||||10K||
Creating Directories
As stated above, you can create directories for organizing your K2661 files, whether you are
using SCSI or SmartMedia. You can create directories on any disk formatted by a K2661, K2600,
K2500, or K2000.
Directories appear in the normal file list with the indicator (dir) to the right of the directory
name.
There are two ways to create new directories.
• Press the NewDir button while on the Disk-mode page
• Press the NewDir button during the Save dialog.
