Derrick, how old are you? No offense, it's just that we had some confusion of this sort on a classic phone list I subscribe to not very long ago... We thought a new member was a little "duh" but it just turned out that he was 12 years old... Technology is becoming available to younger and younger folks all the time and we are going to encounter more and more the situation where younger kids are playing with electronics, or old computers or phones and they're gonna surf the Web and learn about our lists and inevitably maybe even try to join up and post. Once it became clear that the poster wasn't even in high school yet, we changed tack a little. Really, this sort of thing can be positive for everyone; it's an opportunity for the kid to learn a thing or two about technology as well as how to properly comport themselves in an e-mail or message board where you are conducting a technical discussion, and it's an opportunity for us older folks to pass on our knowledge to an interested younger generation... Hopefully? Best, Sean On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 10:19 AM, geneb <geneb at deltasoft.com> wrote:

I don't think he is! But on XP or later "tab completion" is usually turned on. So you can navigate round the folder using the "tab" key. So if you know the first letter of the file ane, and want to edit it with "notepad" just do "notepad f" and hit tab. Then windows will tab round all the files and directories beginning with "f" in the current directory. If you want to go down a directory, just hit "\" when you get to the directory you want to go into, to go up from the start do ".\" and you can tabe round the level above... -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of geneb Sent: 20 August 2014 15:19 To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: putting drivers on a floppy disk On Tue, 19 Aug 2014, Derrick Meury wrote: You're kidding, right? g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.diy-cockpits.org/coll - Go Collimated or Go Home.
