New Source File to open the File Template dialog.

include all of the sections and headings (i.e. DEFINE_DEVICE,
DEFINE_CONSTANT, DEFINE_TYPE, etc.) that differentiate the various sections
contained in a typical Source Code file for the indicated system type.

System's Master Source Code file (via the Make this the Master Source Code file option
checkbox). Click Next to proceed.

directory is the NetLinx Studio v2 directory. Use the Browse button to navigate to another
folder if necessary.

dialog. The new file should appear in the Source folder, under the selected System.
