Using Text Editors
type ^C to get into command mode.
• Type the command NAME filename after the command mode prompt (#).
• The file name will appear on the status line at the top of the screen.
Note: Naming a file does not automatically also save it. You must subsequently use the SAVE
command too.
How to Save New Files
Use the SAVE command to save a file when it is initially created. Once the file has been saved
for the first time, use the RESAVE command to resave the file. You must name the file with
the NAME command before you can save it with SAVE.
To save a new file:
1
Make sure you are in command mode.
If you are not in command mode, type ^C to get into command mode.
Make sure you have named the file with the name command.
2
Type save. The file name is not required.
If the file has not been named, the editor displays the message Use name command to name
file first.
How to Resave Files
Use the RESAVE command to resave files that have already been saved with SAVE. To resave
a file:
1
Make sure you are in command mode.
If you are not in command mode, type ^C to get into command mode.
2
Type resave. The file name is not required.
How to Exit the Editor
The q command exits the editor and returns to the operating system.
To exit the editor:
1
Make sure you are in command mode.
If you are not in command mode, type ^C to get into command mode.
2
Save the file.
If it is a new file, use save; if it has been saved before, use resave.
3
Type q to exit the editor.
How to Exit the Editor without Saving
Normally before you exit the editor you will use the SAVE or RESAVE command to save the
changes you made. But sometimes you may make changes to a file that you decide you do not
want to keep.
