the folders on the diskettes. When you open File Manager, you will
automatically see the contents of the diskette in the disk drive.

other files or documents. Each one is a single unit. For example, a
one-page letter is a document.

when you double-click on a folder. (The name and path" of the folder
appears in the Information Bar.)

and folders currently in the
folder window, the disk space
in bytes (characters) used by

the diskette containing the

in, represented by the
icon placed over 3
