7.6 USING THE "SAVE AS" SUBOPTION
On occasion you might wish to add some
changes to an existing *.DLD file that you have
created to work with VS1, but save it under a
different file name, and/or path. This can be
done with the SAVE AS suboption.
Here is an example on how to use this option:
Make sure EXMPL1.DLD is presently loaded in
the Editor. Select the SAVE AS suboption from
the FILE main menu option. A window will
appear in the middle of your screen showing the
existing file and it's path in the computer drive
directory.
Move the cursor over to EXMPL1.DLD and
delete EXMPL1. Insert the name TEST. You
should see the path followed by TEST.DLD. To
save the changes either tab over to OK or click
the mouse on OK. If you check into your
directory you will notice two new files:
TEST.DLD and TEST.VS1.
