Most people use FILER to find files. Perhaps the most basic FILER skill is moving from one directory (or subdirectory) to another.
Open FILER and look at the display. You'll see a display that looks something like this. (Press (F7) for a Full screen if you have a split screen.)
The third line down is the file 100buddy.com (the 100/200LX displays filenames in lower case letters and directories in upper case). The middle column shows the file size (52,480 bytes). The right columns show the date and time the file was created.
Above 100BUDDY.COM you see two entries: MY95FLS and _DAT. The <DIR> in the middle column tells you that these are directories. If I move the cursor to _DAT and press (ENTER), I see all the files in that directory. If I want to get out of the _DAT directory and go back to the one I was in before it, all I have to do is press (ESC). On the 100/200LX, if I press (ESC) enough times, I eventually move to a list of available drives.
