Dealing with files
To open a file, go to the File menu and select Open… A file dialog will appear.
Navigate to the location of the file you wish to open and select Ok.
To create a new file, go to the File menu and select New. A blank editing screen
will appear.
To save a file, go to the File menu and select Save. If the file has already been
saved, the most recent changes will be saved to the same file. Otherwise, a file
dialog will appear asking to where the file should be saved.
To save a file to the location of your choosing, go to the File menu and select Save
As… A file dialog will appear asking to where the file should be saved.
Once more than one file has been opened, you can navigate among them by using
the file combo box that appears above the editing screen (see Figure 1). It’s worth
noting that “open files” do not actually remain open in memory if they are not
currently displayed in the editing screen. For that reason, when switching from
File A to File B, all of File A’s recent changes must be saved, or they will be lost.
