9. NBDP FILE OPERATIONS
This chapter mainly describes how to create, save, open, edit and print files. The Edit menu
provides a full lineup of editing facilities, including search and replace.
9.1 Opening and Closing Files
To create a telex message you will need to make a new file, which you do with the File
Open command. When you open a new file it is placed (opened) in one of two working
areas. When both working areas are occupied you must close a file to open a new file. This
is done with the File Close command.
