AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

Important Do not depend on the scrollback pane to save data. As you fill
available memory, the oldest contents of the scrollback pane are removed. If
you choose Save from the File menu, copies of the scrollback pane you saved
earlier are overwritten and data may be lost. To store incoming data safely,
capture it directly to a file. See the next section, “Capturing incoming data.”

You can change the characteristics of the scrollback pane to suit the way you
work.
