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 may start working with another document, or switch the word processor off. The next time you switch the word processor on, you may retrieve your document to complete editing. 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 FILE SPELL 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 FILE The word processor assumes that you might wish to save the data that is currently displayed on the WRITE/EDIT screen. (For details, see "Saving a File" on page 61.) 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: > TEXT1 TEXT4 (XX.X) (XX.X) TEXT2 TEXT5 REMAIN:XXX.XK (XX.X) (XX.X) *NEWFI LE is not a file stored on the diskette. This is an empty file that allows you to start from scratch. The numbers displayed in parentheses at the right of the file names indicate the size of the files (in kilobytes). The number following the indicator REMAI N shows the remaining space on the diskette. A file name can be selected by moving the block cursor (reverse display of the file name) with the cursor keys. If you have more files on the diskette than the amount that can be displayed on the screen, Ell and fa-j will scroll the display. 60
