Filer

User FILER's filter function to find a file

Sometimes it can be difficult finding a file that you want. An easy way to find files is to use the filter function in Filer.

Let's say you only want to look at the Lotus files on C:\ (i.e. those files with the .WK1 file extension). Go to FILER and make sure you are in C:\. (Press (ESC) until C:\*.* is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. If you find yourself in the Available Drives screen, highlight (-C-) and press (ENTER).) Press (F4) (Filter), type in *.wk1 and press (ENTER). FILER will only show files with a .WK1 extension. You can create other filters to select files to be displayed. If you had entered *.doc, only MEMO document files would have been displayed. If you had entered p*.*, all files beginning with P would have been displayed.
