If I create the directory and copy files to it using a PC the calculator can see them and use them normally. Using the calculator, when I select files to copy the only option I have is to copy them to the root directory of the SD card and New doesn't work to create either a file or directory on the SD card. I don't see a way to select a directory as the target or create directories on the SD. Is there a way?

You can, but it's definitely easier when accessing the SD card via computer.

To create a directory using the calculator, you have to manually store an object into it with the desired path. Let's say you want to create a directory in root named "TOM" and another subdirectory under that named "L":

1) Put something (anything) on the stack to store. The number 123 is fine.
2) Create the path name (in double quotes) for the object to store, prefaced by :3: (no quotes). The path separator is the forward slash. I'll use "junk" as the new object name. In this example, the following should now be placed on the stack:

:3:"TOM/L/junk"

3) Press the STO key.

Hope this helps!
