DISCARDING EDITING CHANGES
Should you make a mistake while editing and want to start over from the beginning,
you can do so easily. The document menu on the Main Menu is used to save, or not
save edited document files.

You may touch any key shown above. Touch SPACE bar to close the menu.
The document menu can also be used to tell the system that you do not want to save
the document file on the screen. To do this, you use the command ESC
=
erase
screen; don't save anything.
Pressing CTRL & 3 and then the ESC key will remove the document file from the
screen without saving it on the disk. If the document file is a new (never before
saved) file, it will simply be discarded. If the document file has been recalled for
editing, the editing changes will be discarded, but the original document file will
remain unchanged and still have its original name.
Read the steps below to see how it works. There'S a practice exercise on page 4-11,
if you want to try this.
Here'S how it works •••
To discard the document file on the screen:
• Check that the Main Menu is on the screen
