Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     File menu, Save As command
 
     Choose Save As to save the current file with a different name. PWB
     performs a different action for disk files, untitled files, and
     pseudofiles.
 
     When you save a disk file, PWB switches to the new file. To
     continue editing the old file, you must open it separately.
 
     When you save an untitled pseudofile, PWB switches to the
     specified disk file and removes the pseudofile from memory. That
     is, PWB makes the pseudofile a "real" file.
 
     When you save a pseudofile that is not an untitled pseudofile, such
     as Build Results or Help, PWB copies the contents of the pseudofile
     to the specified disk file but does not switch to that disk file.
     PWB writes a snapshot of the pseudofile to disk. To edit the disk
     file, you must open it in a separate step.
 
     To perform a "save as" using the keyboard:
 
       1. Execute Arg Arg («arg» «arg»).
 
       2. Type the new filename.
 
       3. Execute Setfile («setfile»).
