Working screen operations file

In screen operations mode the host editor allows only one screen operations file to be in memory at any one time. The screen operations file in memory is called the working screen operations file. The contents of the working screen operations file are displayed in the Outline view whenever the host editor is activated and is in screen operations mode.

When the host editor is in screen operations mode, the host editor displays the name of the working screen operations file on the second line of the information field at the upper right of the editor area (see Information area).

You can load an existing screen operations file into memory and make it the working screen operations file:
  1. If the host editor is not in Screen Operations mode, then click the go to Screen Operations Mode icon go to Screen Operations Mode to put the host editor into screen operations mode.
  2. Click the Load Screen Operations File icon Load Screen Operations File. This expands a listbox that displays the names of all the screen operations files in the Operations subfolder of your terminal applications subproject.
  3. Click the name of the screen operations file that you want to load.
  4. The host editor discards the current working screen operations file, if any, and then reads into memory as the new working screen operations file the file that you selected.

When you record a screen operations file, the host editor stores the newly recorded information into the currently loaded screen operations file. At the start of recording, the host editor allows you to select from among three different options for preparing the working screen operations file (see Recording a screen operations file).

After you have finished recording a screen operations file, you can store the working screen operations file onto disk by clicking the Save Screen Operations File icon Save Screen Operations File (see Part 3: Saving the working screen operations file to disk in Recording a screen operations file). The working screen operations file remains in memory after the save.
