SUGGESTIONS:

You can see a sorted listing of all the filenotes in the current 
directory (at the time you activated FN) by <V>iewing the FILENOTE file.  
That way, when you find yourself looking for a certain file but can't 
remember it's name, you can glance thru the filenotes and see if anything 
rings a bell. 
                      
If you've deleted a lot of files and you'd like a cleaned up directory 
listing, use <D>riveChg to "change" the disk drive to the drive you're 
currently using.  Of course, if you don't mind staring at all those 
zeros, you can just re-<S>ort the listing. 

Using PC-Directory for making backups is a breeze.  Sort the directory 
listing by date.  Hi-lite the first file with the same date as the date 
of the last backup.  Hold down the <T>ag key until all the files 
following that file are tagged.  Then move to your backup disk using 
<D>riveChg.  Press <C>opy to initiate the copy process.  One easy way to 
keep track of when the last backup was made is to leave yourself a note 
in the notebox for FILENOTE. 

Keeping File Notes on your files is something you probably haven't done 
before.  Force yourself into the habit.  We've all forgotten what's in a 
file.  While using <V>iew can often help figure things out, it's not very 
helpful with binary files.  Besides, a simple reminder in the notebox is 
easier.  You'll be pleased at the time, effort, and frustration you'll 
save by using the File Notes.
