▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Operation
Select PolyTran from the main menu. The following information appears in the center of the
screen:
Input File: Filename.P
Output File: Filename.Pgm
PolyTran automatically places the name of the program you just created or edited into the
Input File field.
❖ Tutorial: If the SIMPDEM.P sample program was the last file opened, the input filename
SIMPDEM.P and output filename SIMPDEM.PGM is automatically placed on the screen.
If you want to translate a different program, type the desired filename in place of the displayed
filename or press to display a list of the existing files, scroll to the desired filename, and
press . The selected filename is automatically placed in the Input File.
Once the input filename is correct, press again. The program prompts you for an
output filename. The program automatically places the same filename in the output file field,
including the .PGM extension, identifying it now as a FieldBook program file. If you wish to
change the filename, you may do so by typing the new filename, followed by the .PGM exten-
sion.
