ThinkTank Manual
FILES Switch or create outlines
Command key: F
Command prefix: No
Locations: Main Command Menu; Startup
ThinkTank outlines are stored in files on disks. You can
use the FILES command to change outlines or create new ones.
You can also use it to select an outline when you first load
ThinkTank if the last one you worked with is not available.
An outline must fit on a single disk. You can store as
many outlines on a hard disk as will fit, but only one on a
floppy disk. (See Chapter 5 for a way of circumventing this
limit.)
Before changing to a new or different outline, you must
close the current outline from the CLOSE Command Menu. The op-
tions are:
* CLOSE: Closes the current outline file and displays
the FILES Command Menu, where you can select another
file to work with. (Command key C)
* RETURN:Cancels the FILES command and returns to
the Top Level of ThinkTank, where you can continue
to work with the current outline. (Command key R)
Don’t switch data disks until ThinkTank closes your cur-
rent outline. Once it’s closed (or when you first load Think—
Tank) the program displays the FILES Command Menu. The op-
tions are:
* EXISTS: Tells ThinkTank that you want to examine an
outline that already exists. (Command key E)
* NEW: Tells ThinkTank that you want to create a new
outline. (Command key N)
