Storing a project
The variable list is stored using the "Project", "Save" or "Save As...." menu items.

not known, then the procedure is as for "Save As....".
"Save As..." displays a window in which the path for the project to be stored can be
specified.

The "Print" command under the "Project" menu item can be selected to print a project file.
The number of lines per page is selected under the "Print Setting" menu item. The default
setting is 77 lines.

Undoing actions
Operator actions relating to the creation of the project file (transfer variables, delete
variables, change alias names) can be undone in this menu.
