File Operation The word processor stores each document in a separate "file" on a diskette and under an individual "file name" of up to eight characters that you choose when you store the document for the first time. You are allowed to save your document at any moment during editing. Once your document is saved, you can start working with another document, or turn the word processor off. The next time you turn the word processor on, you can retrieve your document to edit it. You may also decide to print a document that has been completed and previously saved or the document you are working on. This word processor also includes several File Utility functions such as file copy, delete, and rename that allow for easy maintenance of your text files. Viewing the WP INDEX Screen LRAM), FILE To view a list of your WP files on a diskette, switch from the WRITE/ED T screen to the WP INDEX screen, insert that diskette, and press FILE. The word processor assumes that you might want to save the data currently displayed on the WRITE/EDIT screen. The WP INDEX screen lists all WP files on the diskette. Example: «WP INDEX» TEXTS .WPT (XX.X) TEXT6 .WPT (XX.X) TEXT]. .WPT (XX.X) TEXT4 ,WPT (XXX) TEXT7 .WPT (XX.X) REMAIN: XXXX.XK TEXT2 .WPT (XX.X) TEXT5 .WPT (XX.X) TEXTS .WPT (XXX) *ROPF,:::aiegigAMERN *NEWFILE is not a file stored on the diskette. This is an empty file that allows you to start from scratch. The name of files actually stored on the diskette is followed with a file name extension that is automatically added by the word processor when you save a file. The extension for WP files is ".WPT'. This extension allows the word processor to distinguish between WP files and other files that may be stored on the diskette. The numbers displayed in parentheses at the right of the file names indicate the size of the files (in kilobytes). WordProcessing 75
