You can use the (NAME SUB) soft key in the Submaster display to assign a
name to a submaster. This can be especially useful to help clarify "at a glance"
a submaster type and function. An Effect sub name can describe the action of
the effect, "Act3 Window Glow". An Inhibitive sub name can describe what
type of channels are being inhibited such as "Inhib Audience" or "Inhib Wk
Lights." A timed submaster, Bump button settings or descriptions of "looks"
can all be identified quickly by the submaster name.

Show and Disk File Names
You can name your show in the Setup display by using the (NAME SHOW)
soft key which is available under the (SYSTM SETUP) soft key. A show name
may be up to 16 characters in length. The show name may also consist of a
combination of letters and numbers. It is important to remember that a show
name is different from a disk file name. The show name labels the show as
seen in the Setup display. The show name, as well as the names of any cues,
groups etc. appear when show information is printed.
A disk file name is the label the show is given on your disk. Often the disk file
name is the same as the show name. The disk file name can be a combination
of letters and numbers up to eight characters in length, which sometimes
doesn't permit a show name and disk file name to be the same.
A file name is assigned to the show when you use the (REC. DISK) soft key in
any display. Once (REC. DISK) is pressed, the command line reads "Record to
Disk as File". At this point , enter your file name using the Data Entry Keypad
and the Bump buttons, and then press the [ENTER] key. If you do not specify a
name, the console records your show to disk as the default file, which is the
current File Name shown in the Setup display. If you have not yet recorded a
new show to disk, or did not originally retrieve the show from disk, no current
File Name is shown in the Setup display. If you record a “new” show to disk
without specifying a name the default file name will be “1”.
There are certain characters which are not allowed to be used as part of a disk
file name, such as a [.] or a space. These symbols have a specific meaning in
the computer language of the console and disk drive (the PC DOS language).
