When starting SAM, the program allows you to have the last show you were working
on automatically re-opened, (see
5.1 Start-up options ). For a show to be opened, it
must first have been saved (see 6.3 Saving a show ).

To open a new show, click on File in the menu bar and then click Open. A dialog box
opens.
■ ■ ■ ■ Click on a show to highlight it and display information in the Preview part of the
window.
■ ■ ■ ■ Click twice on the show to open it or click on Open.
If the current show has been modified and not saved, SAM will warn you before
opening the new show.
All Windows® programs allow you to right-click an option and bring up a menu with
various file handling options, such as Send To, Delete, etc. Use these options with
care, since Windows® has no specific way of dealing with details of CADAC show
directories and therefore may alter a show in a way that makes it impossible to re-
open it.
Note that this window may display:
■ ■ ■ ■ SAM shows
■ ■ ■ ■ CGC shows
■ ■ ■ ■ Directories
each of which is treated differently when double-clicked.
