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out of date.
Save As Command (3 of 3)
Use the Save As command to give the current file a name
and copy it to disk.
With the Save As command, you can avoid overwriting the
previous version of the file by renaming the newer,
changed version.
You can continue to work on a file you have just saved;
it remains open.

QuickPascal assumes you are working on Pascal source
code, so it uses the extension .PAS if you do not type
one. To name the file with another extension, or with no
extension, explicitly enter the file name as shown.
If you type: QuickPascal names the file:
MYFILE MYFILE.PAS
MYFILE.PAS MYFILE.PAS
MYFILE. MYFILE.
