Perhaps these two little diagrams can help explain how the FOLDERS program
keeps WordPerfect records for you. You may have up to 40 folders
(sub-directories) in each drawer and any number of drawers (directories) in
the file cabinet. You may have virtually unlimited numbers of Documents in
each folder.

until document description shows on screen, then press "D". You will be
prompted for document number then asked to confirm.
[C] Create a new document - enter description of the document. If a
particular folder has been selected under "F" above, the document will

selected, you may enter the name of an existing folder or start a new
folder as you create a new document. If you are using a macro in
conjunction with the document, you may enter the name of that macro as
you create the new document - each time the document is loaded, macro
will be loaded with it.
