Working With "Other" Files; Creating A Standard Text (.Txt) File - AMX NetLinx Studio Instruction Manual

Working with "Other" Files

The Other file folder (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Bar) contains all other (non-Axcess/NetLinx specific) file
types that you want to include with your Project. These files are not compiled, but are saved with the Project. Use this
folder to store standard text files, image files, etc.
AMX recommends that documents such as AXwires, button-by-button, system
drawings, etc. should all be placed in a "_Docs" folder under the project directory on
disk. You must create this folder in Windows Explorer. The underscore is placed in
the front to ensure this folder will be located first under the project root. This makes it
easier to view the overall project in Explorer.
Do not attempt to open .lib or .syc files for editing in the Editor. Doing so could cause
program failure.
