You aren't going to have an interest in all the sub-directories on this
system, so with this option, you may cause unwanted directories to
disappear completely. They won't even appear as though they even exist,
thus creating a less confusing system which will contain only those
directories which are of any interest to you.~
~
First, change to the root directory (using the "G" option), then choose
option "M". You'll see that there are actually two choises. Pick the
first one. The system will now display all the sub-directories contained
within the root. How you mask them will depend upon whether you have
ANSI or not. With ANSI, merely use your cursor control keys to move to
the box next to a desired directory, then press the <SPACE> bar. This
will toggle the current setting. An empty box means the directory is
de-activated (and will not appear). An asterisk means the directory is
activated (and will appear). If you are not fortunate enough to have
ANSI, then you'll need to type in the letter found beside each
sub-directory name to change the setting of it.~
~
Once you have done this, you may wish to go into deeper levels of
directories and mask off unwanted material there too. Use the Change
Directory option and follow this proceedure again. Note that all
directories from (and above) those which you mask will disappear. While
these masked directories cease to exist everywhere else, they will
always appear in the MASK option.~
~
The second sub-option within the "Mask" main option is the mode in which
MASK functions. Without removing all your mask settings, it is possible
to turn off the effects of the mask, and therefore make all the masked
directories visible again. Your other options are a full mask, or a
partial mask, in which only the "List Newly Uploaded Programs" is
affected.~
