You do not have to create a new project every time ODS is used.
ODS stores project files that you can open at any time.

Use this procedure to open an existing project:

1. Press [

F2

] and pull down the F2-Project menu.

2. Select the

Open

option.

ODS displays the message

Open project

and a directory of

projects.

3. Select the project to be opened and press

[

ENTER

]

. If you want to

cancel, press

[

ESC

].

ODS clears the screen and displays the top-level menu. The
name of the most recently opened project appears on the status
line as the active project
. This verifies that the project is open
and is active.

You are now ready to select an application for the project.
