▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Operation
Select PolyTran from the main menu. The following information appears in the center of the
screen:
Input File: Filename.P
Output File: Filename.Pgm
PolyTran automatically places the name of the program you just created or edited into the
Input File field.
❖ Tutorial: If the SIMPDEM.P sample program was the last file opened, the input filename
SIMPDEM.P and output filename SIMPDEM.PGM is automatically placed on the screen.
If you want to translate a different program, type the desired filename in place of the displayed
filename or press <F2> to display a list of the existing files, scroll to the desired filename, and
press <Enter>. The selected filename is automatically placed in the Input File.
Once the input filename is correct, press <Enter> again. The program prompts you for an
output filename. The program automatically places the same filename in the output file field,
including the .PGM extension, identifying it now as a FieldBook program file. If you wish to
change the filename, you may do so by typing the new filename, followed by the .PGM exten-
sion.
