File Utilities
Once you have edited a program, any number of manipulations can be used to archive it
for later use, including saving, copying, deleting and moving. You can also delete a folder.
These functions, with the exception of saving, can be accessed from the <Programs>
drop-down menu on the Status window menu bar.
Saving an Edited Program
The decision required here is whether to save the program under the same, or dif-
ferent, filename. In Chapter 5, we discussed the <Save As> button, which allows the
creation of a new filename.
In this instance, we will simply save the edited files under the same name.
•
Select <Save>.
Your file can now be selected and reviewed for further editing.
Please note that in the advanced programming window, utilizing the <Save>
feature will bring you to the Status window after implementation, whereas, the
<Save As> feature will bring you back to the advanced programming window.
Therefore, if you plan on continuing to edit the file, <Save As> would be the
simpler choice.
