You may also press the key corresponding to the first character of the item you wish to select.
Unlike the menu windows, however, this simply highlights that item and does not actually
select it. To select an item, press ENTER. The reason for this is that more than one item on
the list may have the same first character. If so, the highlighted bar moves to the first item
with that character, which may or may not be your choice. Use the cursor keys or space bar to
move the highlighted bar further.
After typing in a save block name or selecting one from the list, a dialog box with three
options, Rename, Copy, and Delete, is displayed. If you choose Rename or Copy, you are asked
to type in a new save block name. (Note, however, that you cannot rename the current block.)
Pressing ENTER will rename or copy the current save block to the new save block. The following
message then appears:
Save Block Renamed or
Save Block Copied
Choosing Delete displays another dialog box with two options, Confirm Delete and Redo
Options. Choosing Confirm Delete deletes the save block and the following message appears:
Save Block Deleted
Choosing Redo Options takes you back to save block name entry.
Delete File
Choosing this option (see note below) gives you the window shown below which allows you
to type in a filename to be deleted. Pressing opens a pull-down window showing a list of
filenames available in the current directory with the first filename highlighted. Pressing ESC
returns you to the previous window. After typing in a filename or selecting one from the list, a
dialog box with two options, Delete File and Select Another appears. Choosing Delete File
deletes the file and Select Another returns you to filename entry.
Figure 28. Delete File Option
NOTE: This is the only method you should use for deleting a data file. Do not use
the DOS Delete command.
