- THE FILE SELECTOR
-
- The StereopJr File Selector works like the Workbench File Selector, but
- there are a few differences.
-
- The StereopJr File Selector has a window with a list of file and drawer
- names, and four large buttons labelled {[000,5,0] OK }, {[000,5,0] DISKS }, {[000,5,0] PARENT } and {[000,5,0] CANCEL }.
- There are also two small buttons with blue arrows to move up and down the
- list.
-
- Here's what a list might look like:
-
- *Brushes
- *Grounds
- *Guide
- *Pictures
- Graphics 117532
- Read-Me-First 4274
- SJ-Locate 27
- StereopJr 139864
-
- The drawer names have asterisks (*) in front of them. The file names have
- the file size in bytes after them.
-
- When you click a drawer name, the files and smaller drawers in the drawer
- are listed. If you click the wrong drawer, just click the {[000,5,0] PARENT } button
- to move back. Click the {[000,5,0] DISKS } button to change disks or to look at the
- big main drawers in a disk.
-
- Then click on the file you want to select and click {[000,5,0] OK }, or just double-click
- the file. To save a new picture, find the drawer you want to put it in,
- type in a name on the bottom bar, and press RETURN. To leave the Selector
- without selecting a file, click the {[000,5,0] CANCEL } button or press ESC.
-
- You can move the file selector up or down by pointing the mouse pointer at
- the top of the selector, holding down the left mouse button and dragging
- it up or down.
-
-
- HERE'S AN EXAMPLE: Suppose you're using the StereopJr disk in your internal
- floppy drive and you want to find the file called "SnowBG" in the "Grounds"
- drawer (which is in the "StereopJr" drawer). If you don't know where you
- are, click the {[000,5,0] DISKS } button. Then click the disk name "DF0:".
-
- You'll see a list including the "*StereopJr" drawer. Click it, and you'll
- see a list like the one above. Click the "*Grounds" drawer, and a new list
- will appear with the "SnowBG" file near the bottom. Click it, and it will
- appear in the bar at the bottom of the selector. Then click the {[000,5,0] OK } button,
- and the file will be selected.
