close button (the button in the upper right corner of the configuration window with
an X) to return to the “Rack View.” At this point, your configuration setting

yet saved
to disk. They only reside in your computer’s volatile RAM memory.
Saving Your Configuration Settings to Disk
•
Click File on the Menu bar, then click Save on the drop-down File menu. The
configuration settings will be written to the applicable file in your program folder.
Once a file is saved, the Save selection on the Menu file becomes inactive (it changes
from black to a light green color). If you make any further changes to the
configuration, the Save selection on the File menu will return to its active state (and
its color will change back to black).

After saving your configuration file, click File on the Menu bar, then click Exit to
