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

switch

the

word

processor

off.

The

next

time

you

switch

the

word

processor

on,

you

can

retrieve

your

document

to

complete

editing.

You

may

also

decide

to

print

a

docu-

ment

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

FILE

GRAM

To

view

the

list

of

your

WP

files

on

a

particular

diskette,

switch

from

the

WRITE/

EDIT

screen

to

the

WP

INDEX

screen,

insert

that

diskette,

and

press

The

word

processor

assumes

that

you

might

wish

to

save

the

data

that

is

cur-

rently

displayed

on

the

WRITE/EDIT

screen.

(For

details,

see

"Saving

a

File"

on

page

NOTE:

If

you

are

using

a

brand

new

diskette

or

a

diskette

that

has

been

used

with

another

word

processor

or

computer,

please

read

"Initializing

New

Diskettes"

on

page

14.

The

WP

INDEX

screen

lists

all

the

WP

files

on

the

current

diskette.

Example:

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

the

WP

files

and

other

files

that

may

be

stored

on

the

dis-

kette.

The

numbers

displayed

in

parentheses

at

the

right

of

the

file

names

indicate

the

size

of

the

files

(in

kilobytes).
