Giving Long Names to Directories |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: If you want to give long names to your directories or subdirectories, you can do so. To assign a long document name to directories, use a Directory Alias file. A Directory Alias file holds the names of the desired directories and their alias names (long names/filenames). The file is stored in merge format and is accessed by the WordPerfect program when List Files is used. It is stored in the root directory (e.g., C:\ or D:\). Details on how to create this file are found in the WordPerfect Reference Manual in the Directories section. The information includes the following steps: 1. At a blank document screen, type the full path of the directory to which you want to assign a long name, and then press End Field (e.g., C:\WP51\DOC, F9). 2. Type the long name for the directory, then press End Field (e.g., Melanie's Documents, F9). 3. Press End Record (Shift-F9, 2). 4. Follow steps 1-3 for each directory you want to assign an alias/long name to. 5. When you are finished, save the file to the root directory with the filename WP{WP}.DLN. The long filename will then be displayed for the directories when you use List Files. |
