Figure 6. File Menu
Like most software programs, PPG stores data in files. To save a program flow
chart, you store it as a file. Once you have saved the file, you can open it and
modify it. Use the
File
menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a
file, save a file with a new name, close a file, and print a file.
Creating a New File
(Ctrl+N)
To create a new flow chart, select
File > New
from the menubar. If no applica-
tion is currently open, an empty flow chart is loaded into the PPG window. If
an application is already open, a second copy of PPG will start and open the
empty application.
