All files are organized in a directory structure.

The following directories contain special files:
1. Clipboard:
Files and directories of any type may be created/stored in the

They can also be selected for processing here.
Files must be transferred for storage on an external computer by
means of a data transfer program such as PCIN.

All files (tool programs, tool data) needed to machine a
workpiece can be stored in the "Workpieces" (.WPD)
directory.
Like a part program, a workpiece can be selected in the NC
