• File > Save saves the data to a file for later reference. This
command will also result in the new file name being displayed

BASIC software dialog.

command will also result in the new file name being displayed

• File > Print formats and sends the data to a printer.
• File > Print Preview lets you preview the printed data before
actually printing.
• File > Exit exits the BASIC software program.
Between File > Print Setup and File > Exit, there can be up to four file
names. These file names are a list of the most recent four files saved
using BASIC software. If you select one of these files, the title bar
document title will change to show the name of this file. Also, the
next time you save this data, the file name will be selected, but
nothing else will happen. No file is actually opened.
