Incidentally, you really are always in directory mode, it's just that the names have been changed to protect the innocent. [Grins]
Any time you are in a list of folders, you can press space with dots 5-6 to go down a level into the tree view, or space with dots 23 to go back up a level. You have to remember to space down into the list of folders, this doesn't work at the "name" prompt. However, it doesn't matter whether you are in folder or directory mode, it works the same way in either case. The commands on a QT are right and left arrow, respectively. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stacey Robinson Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 9:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Braillenote List Subject: re: [BrailleNote] a word on file systems - overview and technical Hi Ann, YOu can already toggle between folder and directory modes with control t on the qt.
