Exit

The Exit choices are:

Exit and Save screen saves the screen and returns to the File menu

Save screen only saves the screen and stays in the Screen menu

Don’t save, just Exit returns to the File menu without saving the screen

Cancel Exit cancels the Exit

The selections offered in the Object menu allow you to precisely configure
each screen object.

Depending on the type of object you are creating or editing, the selections
offered in the Object menu will vary slightly.

Figure 3.25 shows three different Object menus. The menu at the top of the
illustration appears when a push button is selected. The next menu appears
for an arc, and the object menu at the bottom appears when a bar graph is
placed on the screen. When you select an object, it is identified at the
bottom of the Object menu screen.
