*Fig. 22 – Browser window areas and their function*

On the top of the *Browser* window, is the *Current Drive and Path Area*. As you navigate your drives, it changes to reflect the current drive and folder you're in. This in effect, is the same as giving the **PWD** command when in *NextBASIC*.

Right below that are the *View Options* which control the way the list will appear, from what info it will show to how the list is sorted together with a search control

Immediately after, is the *File and Folder List Area*; it contains all files and folders at the point you're located as reflected by the *Current Drive and Path Area* at the top in combination with the *Active File Filter Area* that's right below it (more about that in a little bit) shown in pages of 19 items at a time. You navigate the file and folder list with the cursor keys, **ENTER** and **EDIT**, a joystick set as cursor, or the first *Kempston* or *Mega drive* joystick regardless of what *port* (Left or Right) it's set to. Immediately below the *File and Folder List Area*, is the *Active File Filter Area* with which, you can reduce the file list to whatever *types* (including folders which have essentially a *blank type*) you wish to see (according to a filter set by *wildcards*) and finally, the bottom two lines is the *Info/Status and Commands Area*.

### Using the Browser

The Browser is extremely easy to use; all it takes is a few keystrokes to accomplish most tasks. Controls are listed in the next table:

| Key | Description |
| --- | --- |
| ⇦ | Moves one page up or to the topmost item if you're on the first page |
| ⇨ | Moves one page down or to the last item if you are on the last page |
| ⇧ | Move up one item |
| ⇩ | Move down one item |
| ENTER | If it's a folder, change to that folder. If it's a file attempt to execute it |
| SYMBOL SHIFT + ENTER | Attempt the secondary action stored in browser.cfg for the file type |
| EDIT | Move up one folder |
