Introduction
------------

  FilerDirPatch is a small patch to cause a new directory to be created if
  'New directory' is selected in a Filer window (instead of moving the
  pointer right to open the dialogue box).

  As a long-time user of MS Windows, this had always seemed an omission and
  with the arrival of RISC OS 4 and the Alt-click renaming in the window, I
  often found myself wishing that the option worked as expected.

  Although the patch is trivial, having written it it seems daft to make
  others who would like the feature re-invent the wheel.



Installing and Using FilerDirPatch
----------------------------------

  FilerDirPatch requires RISC OS 3.1 or later.  It is 26/32 bit netural and
  should work on RISC OS 5; it will not be needed on Select.

  To install FilerDirPatch, copy the FDPatch module to a suitable place and
  double-click on it to run.  If you want it to run on startup, the module
  should be placed in your boot sequence.  On a machine with the new boot
  structure installed, this can be done by copying it into the
  Choices:Boot.Tasks directory.  On older machines, you will have to make
  your own arrangements (but you will probably have made your own boot system
  anyway).

  To use it, just click Select on the 'New directory' menu item and a new
  directory will be created in the current filer window (the one the menu was
  opened over) with the name Directory.  This can then be renamed as
  required.
