Chapter 3
When you return to the PROJECT/PAGE menu, the new project you just created appears
in the project list. The project is selected in the list, as indicated by the gray box sur-
rounding it.

Note
Hereafter, the process of pointing to an item then clicking the Left mouse button is
referred to as "selecting" or "clicking." For example, "Select the Proj/Pg option in the
MAIN MENU ," or "Click Proj/Pg ."
For now, we're concerned only with the items on the left side of the menu—that is, those
items under Projects . The selected item, A: Demo , identifies the project that is currently dis-
played on the screen. The A: portion of the item indicates that the project resides on the PC
card inserted in the front panel PC card slot—that is, the Start Card you inserted earlier. If
the card contained other projects, they would also appear in this list. AUTO.APS and
AUTO.EPS are automatic display graphics—they won't be covered in this tutorial.

To begin creating the new project, click the New button—just below the project list. The
NEW PROJECT menu appears.
4
Click the text box just below the New Project Name option. A vertical line (called a text
cursor) appears in the box indicating you can type information in the box.
5
Type the word "TUTORIAL"—the name for the project—without the quote marks.
Note
Don't type quote marks throughout this tutorial unless specifically directed to do so.
The characters .PRJ appear to the right of the text box. This is a "file type extension"—it tells
PowerScript what type of file (a PR o J ect file) you are creating. PowerScript automatically
appends the file type extension, so you don't have to enter the characters.
The A:(FRONT) option should already be selected. If not, click the radio button just to the left
of the option to select it. This identifies the PC card and slot where the new project will be
stored.
6
Click in the Comment text box to insert the text cursor, then type "SnS" (for SIGHT-
nSOUND).
7
Click the New button. PowerScript takes a moment to create the new project on the PC
card.
8
Click the close box (the small box in the upper left corner of the New Project menu) to
remove the menu from the screen
Tip
You can also press the Esc key to remove the menu.
