Saving (and loading) a file
2 Give your file a name
Move the pointer over the work you want to save
and press Menu to display the application menu.
Enter a name in the Save as: dialogue box.
For example, try this on the Edit file you created
in the last chapter.
Click Menu and enter the name EditTest in the
Save/Save as: dialogue box (you'll need to erase
the default name TextFile using Delete).
Filenames and directory names can have between
one and ten characters, but not blank spaces or the
characters $ & % @ \ ^ : . # * " |.
You can use upper-case (capitals) and lower-case
letters wherever you like in the name – the
computer makes no distinction between them. The
only reason for calling your file EditTest
instead of edittest is that it's easier for you to
read.
If you've saved this file before (the correct file
name will appear on the box if you have) you can
miss out the next step – just press Return.
3 Save your file
To save your file, drag the file icon in the
dialogue box into the directory window and
release the Select button.
For example, save your file EditTest in
your TestFiles1 directory. Then quit the
file EditTest (click on the Close icon).
Loading a file
You can load a file by double-clicking on its icon (
as long as the relevant application is either in the
Apps directory, or its icon has been displayed on
the screen since you last switched off the
computer).
