the file by pressing the return key. You may get unpredictable results if you use this menu
option when there are not previously saved files on your disk.
There are additional file functions available at the bottom of the screen.
When you press F1, additional information about the currently selected file displays on
the screen. The F2 key will delete the currently highlighted file. A prompt window
cautions the user before the file is deleted.
NEW is used to create new cable wiring documentation files. Selecting NEW opens the
NEW menu option screen. Use this menu with the F2-Library INSERT menu option to
create custom cable wiring files. The NEW F1-File menu option is described in the
XXXXXXXXX Application and Use section.
SAVE saves the file information created with the New menu option screen. AXWire uses
the DEALER field to create a DOS file name. You must make an entry in the DEALER
field. See the File Description section on page 6. The first eight characters of the file
name are used to generate a unique file name. A three-character .AXW file extension is
appended to the file name. If you use the same file name again, AXWire will
automatically change the last character to keep it unique. The shortcut is ctrl-s.
PRINT -This menu option creates a Postscript file for the currently selected cage
configuration and saves it on your disk as HOOKUP.PLT. Note that you must have a
correctly configured Postscript printing capability to print the .PLT file.
NEW MINI CAGE -This menu option creates a new cable wiring file for an AXF-MINI
Mini-CardFrame. You can add up to three Axcess cards per CardFrame. The AXF-MINI
is always equipped with a Master Card.
EXIT allows you to return to MS-DOS. The shortcut is ctrl-x.

DELETE CAGE deletes the currently selected CardFrame from the system.
CAGE DEVICE lets you change the CardFrame device number.
NEXT CARD lets you select the next card in the sequence once a cage file containing
more than one card is built. The shortcut is ctrl-n.

NEXT CONFIGURE allows you to select the configuration needed for Axcess card
types with alternate configurations, such as the AXC- 232 RS-232/422 card. The shortcut
is ctrl-t.
TOGGLE DIVIDE inserts or deletes a divide at the current position of the highlight bar.
Divides, the short horizontal lines appearing in the vertical lines, are used to separate
