Menu Descriptions

8.1 File Menu

The File menu contains command for creating, opening, saving, and printing projects.

The command for exiting the program is also on the File menu.

New

The New command will open a new, empty project window. The commands on the Sequence
menu will be enabled, allowing you to add a new or imported sequence into the project.

Open

The Open command will open an existing project. The standard File Open dialog box will be
shown to allow a project file to be selected from any folder (directory). The file types shown
in the File Open dialog box can be selected. Initially, only WinMelt/MacMelt 2.0 project files
will be shown. The file format used for projects is proprietary to the WinMelt/MacMelt
software. On Windows systems, the file name extension ".mpj" is used for WinMelt projects.

Close

The Close command will close the current project. A prompt will appear to save your project
if it has been modified since the last save.

Save

The Save command saves the current project. The standard File Save dialog box will be
shown. If your project already has a name, it will be saved under that name. If the project
does not have a name, this command will behave as the Save As command.

Save As

The Save As command will save the current project with a given name. The standard File
Save dialog box will be shown. On Windows systems, the file name extension ".mpj" must
be used. The file format used is proprietary to the WinMelt/MacMelt software.
