= SUMMARY =

The File Management feature in Works versions 2.0 and 3.0 can copy, delete, or rename one file at a time. However, it is not possible to copy or delete all the files in a subdirectory by using the asterisk or the question mark wildcard. If the asterisk is entered followed by the file extension (for example, *.WKS), Works will display all the files with that extension in the subdirectory.

To copy or delete all the files, choose File Run Other Programs and type the appropriate MS-DOS command (for example, use the COPY command to copy or the DEL command to delete all the files). For more information about MS-DOS commands, see your MS-DOS user’s guide.

More information about the File Management command can be found on page 283 in the “Microsoft Works Reference” manual for version 2.0 and pages 440-446 of the “Microsoft Works User’s Guide” for version 3.0.
