Well, I prefer using the BN to using my PC, but I have to agree that the file manager leaves something to be desired. Why are there "folders" and "directories?" Why not have a structure where you can access folders from within folders by simply pressing a key? For example, if you are spacing through a list of folders and you come across a folder which has folders within it, you should receive a message something like, "folder A has 3 subfolders. Press right arrow to view subfolders." There would have to be an equivalent BT command instead of right arrow. If you want to open folder A but not view its subfolders, you could simpley press enter. The way the file manager works presently, you have to go through hoops to see subfolders within a folder.
you also must go through hoops to create a folder within a folder. I think the "folder manager" in its present state is for the birds. Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF^CA.
