Archiving Variables
The Archive function enables you to save the entire list of variables in the
Environment panel to a separate file for the purpose of transferring the
environment to another CVIM2 system (or for use as backup in case of
hardware failure).
When you pick the button, the “ Save as . . . ” panel appears, as
shown in Figure 10.8. Initially, the panel is empty, as shown.

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 EE: . 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
with the archive file name listed, as shown in Figure 10.9 (page 10–8).
