Filenames on the Zoomer

Each file on the Zoomer has both a Geos filename, which you see in the File Manager, and a DOS name used internally. The DOS name is also used by the Geos File Transfer protocols.

For example, the "Date Book" file on the Zoomer actually has the DOS name of date_boo.000. You can see what the DOS filename of a file is by highlighting the name of the file on the Zoomer in the File Manager and choosing Utilities from the menu line and selecting Get File Information. This isn't something you'll need to worry about, or make use of often, but you might run into it.
