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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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, Open command
 
     Choose Open to load a disk file into the PWB editor or create a
     pseudofile (a temporary file in memory).
 
     To change the current directory, type the name in the File Name
     box or choose it from the Drives/Dirs list box. PWB makes that
     directory the current one.
 
     The Open File dialog box provides the following options to specify
     the type of file to open and if PWB is to open a new window for
     the file:
 
     Pseudofile
          Turn on to open a pseudofile with the specified name.
          See: ◄Pseudofile (Defined)►
 
          Turn off to open a disk file with the specified name.
 
     New Window
          Turn on to open a new window for the file.
 
          Turn off to open the file in the active window and place the
          current file in the window's file history.
 
          The default value for the New Window option is specified by
          the Newwindow switch.
