Save File Only

The Save File Only function is similar to the Exit and Save File function in
that it saves the selected file. However, after saving the file you remain in
the Exit menu.

The Save File Only function is typically used to perform incremental saves of
a file. If you are creating or modifying numerous messages in one session,
you may want to periodically save the file to avoid losing data.

After saving the file, you can then select the Cancel Exit function to return to
the Messages menu and continue editing operations.

Select Save File Only from the Exit menu. Highlight Save File Only and
press [Enter], or just press [S]. A window opens and displays the current
path name of the file.

You can save the file as shown by pressing [Enter] or you can save the file
under a different name or path.

To save the file under a different name, use the following format:

drive:\directory\subdirectory\filename

If you specify only a file name, the file is stored using the default path (as
shown) with the .KPD extension. If you enter a file name with an invalid
extension, the extension is changed to .KPD during the save.
