command line changed all by itself

[TSQUARED]

I can't see that I changed any setting (never do) or did anything to make it so the instruction line under the Command: window at the bottom of the screen now expects me to enter text, i.e. In the Command Window we have "open", after I clicked on File / Open, but instead of being taken to the usual drop down of my hard drive the bottom line on my monitor reads, "Enter name of drawing to open <.>:

The same thing happens if I try to save a drawing.

This is making it extremely difficult to open and save, i.e. to work....

Can anyone help to fix this? Don't even know what it's called.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

This is one of the most often asked questions here on the forum. The answer is, type FILEDIA at the command prompt and change the setting to 1.
