There is a difference between a folder and a directory. The none
folder is the root of the drive, so any file not in a folder is
here. A directory is a folder or subfolders and is denoted with
a slash, so since there is no folder (the "none" is just a name
the bn uses, there is no actual folder called "none") then the
root directory is slash. You cannot, for example, get to a maps
folder inside a gps folder in folder mode, because typing
"/gps/maps" would make the bn think that all this was supposed to
be one folder name. In directory mode, this would be interpreted
correctly. Directory mode would require computer braille in some
cases, so that also makes sense. I hope this made at least some
sense, I know I did not explain it very well.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] root directory question for a MPower bt
Hey list. I was helping someone out today with there bn and
gps. We were trying to switch the default gps map folder from
one to the other. For some reason when she goes to the compact
flash card to change the folder her root directory is slash
notnone. It confused her and mebut once i told her to press
space bar and t to change the directory it brought up none. From
there everything went fine. I guess my questiton is why isn't
the none folder showing up? Her folders are all in the right
place. I don't don't if slash was some kind of subdirectory of
something. When i told her to type in none at the folder prompt
it said folder doesn't exist. Now since she has a bt and i have
a qt i don't know if this makes any difference but her's said
computerbraille is required at the prompt. It looks to me like
she will have to always go and change the directory with space
bar and t when she wants to change the map folder. None is not
presented to her like before with out the space t command. Any
ideas on how to get it to do that again?
