PTab Menu Options

The PTab pull-down menu options include: File, Edit, Insert, Format,
Tools, and Task. Each menu option is described in detail on the
following pages. On-line help is accessed by pressing the [?] in the
upper right- hand corner of the screen.

File Menu Options
The following functions are available from the File Menu option:
- File|New: Creates a new workbook.
- File|Open: Opens an existing workbook. You can open a PTab file (.pt),

a Microsoft Pocket Excel file (.pxl) or a CSV file (.csv). Microsoft Excel

file transfer. CSV files are ASCII text files containing values separated
by a separator taken from the Allegro’s regional settings. Select
Start|Settings|Control Panel|Regional Settings, then choose the Number
tab and the List separators combo box. To open a CSV file select Text
Files (*.csv)
from the Type combo box.
