After you have selected the drive and you are presented with the folder prompt, press t-chord. Whatever folder was written in the folder prompt will now be written in the directory prompt. Erase everything except for the slash and then press dot 4 chord to move into the directory list. It will continue to append the subdirectories to the end of the original directory name. Once you have reached the one that you want press enter on the name rather going into the list again. This will display the list of files. Alternatively, you could type in the entire name of the directory and subdirectories if it is not too long.

HTH,
Nicole

Subject: [Braillenote] accessing files in subdirectories efficiently


I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to navigate to a file within
a subfolder.  On FlashDisk I have a reference folder which contains both
files and many subfolders which themselves contain files.  So far, the
fastest way I can see to get into Reference to access the subfolders from
either the Keyword open command or the File Manager Directory command is to
navigate to reference, press enter to open it, backspace to reclose it, at
which point I can press space with T to view subdirectories, and space
through the list of them or press a letter. The opening, then reclosing the
file is the part I wish could be abbreviated.  Can it?

Thanks and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it.

Dean
