The three selectors at the top left of this screen select floppy disk, cassette, or memory cartridge op-

eration in order from left to right (memory cartridge operation is not utlilizable with conventional MIDI

Recorder files, and is not implemented at this time). The MIDI Recorder is smart enough to know what

storage device is connected to the computer, and will automatically select that device when the file

page is called. Floppy disk operation will be selected if a floppy disk drive is connected, and cassette

will be selected if a floppy disk drive is not connected to the system. A list of available file handling

functions is provided to the left of the screen. The functions that appear in black are those functions

that are operative with the currently selected device, while those in white cannot be used with the current

device. An underline cursor appears to the right of the selected device name at the top of the screen

 file names for store and load operations are entered here using the computer's alphanumeric key-
