Move Moves the current file into a different user group.
Rename
Renames the current file. PARADOS will ask for confirmation before
renaming READ ONLY files. Press CLR when typing a new filename to clear
and re-enter a name.
Tag
Tag the current file. The options such as Copy in the CONTROL menu are
performed on files that are tagged. PARADOS shows which files are tagged
by displaying a * after the filename.
Un-tag
Un-tag the current file. If the file was previously tagged, then the * next to
it will vanish.

Backup
This feature wasn't implemented by our programmer due to lack of space in
the ROM chip.
Configure A more specialised and complicated option (get ready!) Configure is split
into two parts:
Drive Sets details about the disk in both drives. A disk can have either
40 or 80 tracks, and is either single sided or double sided.
Formats such as ROMDOS D1 are double sided and can only be
used with 3.5" disks. They are also 80 track formats. Because they
use 80 tracks - twice that available on 3" disks - and both sides
simultaneously - twice that a 3" disk uses - you get four times the
storage capacity.
Only 3.5" disks are double sided and have 80 tracks, but they can
also act as 3" disks, that is being single sided and having 40
tracks. For further details of the two different 'modes' 3.5" disks
can be used in, please see below.
The default settings are DRIVE A: 40 tracks, side 0 and DRIVE B:
80 tracks, double sided. Both drives should be set to single
stepping at all times - double stepping is a specialised option, if
you don't know what it means, you don't need it!
IMPORTANT: Some programs, in particular games, may overwrite
the PARADOS workspace, the six bytes it needs to work with.
Read fails may be produced on disks if this occurs. If this is the
case, reset the Drive settings to the default ones above.
