Creating Files<br />

To create a file:<br />

1. Press O-CHORD, F (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD,<br />

DOTS 1-2-4) to open the Files Menu.<br />

2. Press C (DOTS 1-4). You are prompted for a<br />

file name.<br />

3. Type the file name.<br />

4. Press E-CHORD (DOTS 1-5 CHORD)<br />

File names cannot exceed twenty characters nor<br />

can they contain the following characters:<br />

QUESTION MARK, ASTERISK, SLASH,<br />

BACKSLASH, COMMA, COLON, and PERCENT. File<br />

names should not begin with a PERIOD.<br />

Further considerations include transferring files<br />

to an external disk drive or to a Compact Flash.<br />

Since these storage mediums do not support the<br />

longer file names, we recommend you use the<br />

MS-DOS "8.3" digit format. This format limits a<br />

file to eight characters, a period, and three more<br />

characters without spaces. <strong>The</strong> three characters<br />

after the period are referred to as a file<br />

extension, and may determine how applications<br />

on a PC interact with these files. For example, in<br />

Microsoft Windows 9.x, files with an extension<br />

of .txt are opened in Notepad.<br />
