Hi Richard, You can create subdirectories at any file dialog in KeySoft where you can create files. The "folder" system in KeySoft is designed to work at a single level only, so you must change to the "directory" system by pressing SPACE with T (I'm using a BT). For example, to set up your Jack and Jill directories on an SD card I can do the following:
1. Access a file dialog, for example select "Create a document" from the KeyWord Menu. 2. At the "Folder name?" prompt press BACKSPACE to get the "Drive?" prompt and select the SD drive. 3. Back at the "Folder name? press Enter for none" prompt press SPACE with T to change to Directory mode. 4. The prompt is now "Directory name? press Enter for /" 5. Type Jack, press Enter, and then confirm the creation of a new directory. 6. At the following "Document to create" prompt, press BACKSPACE to return to the "Directory name? press Enter for /jack" prompt 7. Now type Jill, press Enter and and confirm the creation of the new direrectory. This will create Jill as a subdirectory of Jack 8. If you want to create more directories, return to the "Directory name? press Enter for /jack/jill" prompt and carry on. If this time you wanted to create /jack/charlotte, then the first step would be to go up a level by pressing SPACE with dots 2-3 at the directory prompt to get "Directory name? press Enter for /jack" then type Charlotte and so on. 9. If you wanted /Bob off the root directory up beside Jack, then you would go up two levels by pressing SPACE with dots 2-3 twice. 10. If you wanted /jack/jill/tumbling, then you type "tumbling" at the " Directory name? press Enter for /jack/jill" prompt. Hope that helps Best regards Jonathan "Richard Ring" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/09/2007 07:14 a.m. To "Alex Parks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Barbara J. Wagreich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[email protected]> cc Subject [Braillenote] folders within folders or subdirectories within directories Greetings Braillenote listers: I am about to ask a very stupid question. I feel that it is a stupid question because I must be missing something so painfully obvious as to be frightening. However, I need to know the answer, so any help will be gratefully appreciated. I want to show a client how to create folders within folders, or if you prefer, subdirectories within subdirectories. The idea here is that she will be able to better organize her work. I simply cannot think of an easy way to do this. The only two ways I can seem to do this are as follows: If I go to the file manager from the main menu and then press f for folder manager and then press n for new folder I can create a folder within a folder if I do this. Let us say that I have a folder on my sd card called Jack. And let us further suppose that I wish (because of an incredible lack of imagination) to create a folder within Jack called Jill. If I duplicate the steps shown above, at the folder name prompt I can type Jack/jill and the folder "jill" will in fact be created within the folder called "Jack". This method seems rather cumbersome, and yet it is one of two methods that I can think of. The other method, of course, is to create the folder called "Jill" in the" none" folder on my sd card and then subsequently move it into the folder called "Jack". I am certain, as stated earlier, that there is a much easier and straight-forward method by which to accomplish this task. Alas, it is eluding me. Would one of the experts on this list be gracious enough to point out to me the obvious solution that I am forgetting?
