hardware failure).
When you pick the

To archive the current list of environment variables, pick the
button.
When you do, a keyboard appears. Enter an appropriate name for the archive
file, (such as
MC:Archive1
in Figure 10.8). (Note the message in the
keyboard title bar indicating that the default device is

. If you want to
change the device, enter the new device name ahead of the archive file
name.)
After entering the archive file name, pick the
key on the keyboard.
When you do, the keyboard disappears and the “
Save as . . .
” panel returns
