There's an important subtlety to this statement that makes it either true or false. I've re-written it below with slight modifications to show the difference:

FALSE:

Quote:...if you create STO a calculator directory object on the SD card you can put programs into the calculator directory object and then the file manager would show them in the tree.

TRUE:

Quote:...if you create a SD directory on the SD card you can put programs into the SD directory and then the file manager would show them in the tree.

Note that, technically speaking, the Filer won't show the directory contents in the tree, but it does show them if you follow the SD card directories using the right-arrow key.

I don't like the idea of just dumping everything to the root. I want to thank you both for being patient with me and my learning curve. I'll eventually figure it out just like I did with the 41CX and the 48SX.

Just use something like the program Claudio provided above. Follow his instructions carefully and you'll get there.

Don't feel bad about not understanding all of this just yet. The documentation could definitely be clearer than it is, and there's some underlying details in the implementation that help to make sense of this once you begin to understand them. But now is not the time for that level of specificity. Get to know the system better first, and then start digging into the underpinnings after you start to see the bigger picture. The good news is that there's a ton of information and tools available when you're ready.
