2-6 Getting Familiar with Your Development Software
Figure 2.2 File Dialog Box
The FILE dialog box lists all the available options. Use your up and down arrow
keys to move to the option you want. Press
[Enter]
to select your option. If you
wish to leave the dialog box without selecting anything, press
Cancel <ESC>.
Some of the options have a QuickStroke assignment listed on the right. For
example, pressing
[Shift F5]
instead of pulling down the File menu would load a
file into the current window.
Navigating Within Windows
Windows are labeled alphabetically in their top left corner. Your BASIC
Development Software can open up to 100 windows simultaneously. Each may
contain a separate file, or they can be linked together and contain different parts of
the same large file. You can open and close these windows independently of each
other.
The following screen shows an example with 3 windows opened simultaneously.
Window A contains a file called BASE#1 while windows B and C both contain a
file called BASE#2. In this case, B and C are linked together; you are actually
looking at different parts of the same file.
