The PC file system is "tree" structured, almost exactly like the HFS and SRM file systems. If you are familiar with the HFS file system, the following differences may be instructional. The "/" character of the HFS file system is replaced with "\" in the PC file system. Passwords do not exist in the PC file system and will cause an error if included in a directory name.
The file system is organized as a tree. Actually, it is usually thought of as an upside-down tree. The top of the tree is, thus, the root. (Not roots. Directory trees are considered to have only one root, and the term trunk is usually not used.) The tree is composed of directories and files. Each directory may contain files and additional directories, which act like branches down the tree. Directory names follow the same rules as filenames with extensions.
A directory path is the path you climb through in the tree to get from the root of the tree to a certain directory. It consists of the names of each directory that must be climbed through in order to get to that certain directory, separating the directory names with the backslash "\" character. If you have not already, you will find it helpful to read the material in your PC manual concerning directories.
