type:
c:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe,
then click OK.

right of the text box and select the command line from the

the on-screen instructions.
Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer, save your work on the hard
disk drive, diskette, flash media, or CD. This is one of the
most important rules of computing.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Save your data even when you are using
the Standby command, in case the main battery discharges
before you return to work.
Saving documents is quick and easy, so it is a good idea to get
in the habit of saving frequently.
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at
regular intervals. Check your program’s documentation to see
if it has an automatic save feature.
