Loading, Erasing, or Renaming Files

This function is used to either load, erase, or rename files on the current

disk. In the case of a load, the screens will guide you to load the file into

the proper place, according to the file extension (the three letters after

the period in a file name, e.g., PGM).

To load, erase, or rename a file on disk, select 7 (Load,erase, rename)

from the DISK key menu. The following screen will appear:

======= Load/Erase/Rename Files =======A

File:File_name.ALL Size: 0K

Disk:SCSI DISK PART A Free(seq): 793K

========================================

The fields and soft keys are:

• The File field:

This field is used to select the disk file to be loaded, erased, or renamed.

Use the Data Entry Knob to select from an alphabetical list of the files on

the current disk. File names can be up to 16 characters, and are followed

by a period and a three-character extension, which identifies the type of

file:

SEQ: a single sequence

ALL: all sequences and songs

SND: a single sound

PGM: a single program

APS: all programs and sounds

PAR: system parameters

• The Size field:

This field shows the size (in kilobytes) of the selected file. It is for display

only and cannot be edited.

• The Free(seq) field:

If a SEQ, ALL, or PAR file is selected in the File field, this field shows the

amount of available sequence memory. If a SND, PGM, or APS file is

selected, this field appears as Free(snd) and shows the amount of

available sound memory. By comparing the file size to the available

memory, you will be able to see if there is enough space available to

load the selected file. This field is for display only and cannot be edited.

• The Disk field:

This field only appears if your MPC60 contains a Marion Systems MPC-

SCSI interface and a hard disk is connected to its SCSI port. It shows the

1 2 ... 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 ... 240 241
