Allow sub-directory change

Check this field to allow sub-directory changing.

When this option is enabled, you can send multiple remote requests/disk change commands, and if the previous remote request/disk change command ended with the path delimiter specified above, then the next directory is assumed to be a sub directory of that directory.

Example remote request: To request the program MYCUSTOMER\MOULD.MZK, first send in a remote request program with the comment MYCUSTOMER+ (if + is used as path delimiter), then send a remote request with the comment 'MOULD'.

Example disk mode: To change to the sub-directory MYCUSTOMER\PROJECT, first send a remote disk change with the comment 'MYCUSTOMER+' (if + is used as path delimiter), then send a remote disk change with the comment 'PROJECT'
