If the disk you want to save to is not currently online, eject a
disk, that is, if no other drive is available, and insert the correct
disk into the drive. The disk will be found as you circulate back
through the online disks.
* Note: If you discover that there is not enough room on
your data disk to store the file, you can save to another
formatted disk or Cancel the Save and make more
room on the disk by using Delete from the Edit menu
to get rid of any unwanted files. If the file is too large to
fit on a single floppy, you’ll need to break it up into
several files and save to multiple disk. Refer to App. E
for instructions.
New Folders can be created with the name that is in the title box
when you click the New Folder option. If a file or folder already
has that name, a new folder will not be created. Once the folder
is created, you can double click on it to open, name your sound
sample, and then save it in the new folder.
Open folders by selecting them in the catalog window and
clicking this button or by double clicking on them in the catalog
window.
Close the folder you currently have open by clicking this
option or by clicking on the pathname located above the catalog
window.
Save the sound file by the name that is currently in the Save
Wave As: box when you click this button. The file will be saved
to the directory currently selected in the format selected.
* Note~ As stated earlier, if you try to save changes to a
locked file you’ll be told that the file is locked and asked
if you want to replace it with the new information
anyway. If you answer Yes, the new file will replace the
old and the file will be locked again. If you select No,
no save will be made.
Cancel returns you to the edit mode.
