Managing Files in AlphaWord Plus

. . . . .

To open a file that you know is in one of the eight active files, press the 
appropriate file key.

If you don’t know where the file is, you can find the file by its first line or 
name. Follow these steps:

1. Press one of the eight file keys to choose which file space you want to 

use.

2. Press ctrl-f to see a list that includes the first line of each file on the NEO 

as shown below—both the numbered files and named files that aren’t 
open in files 1–8. If you prefer to see files by name, press ctrl-o to see a 
list of file names.

3. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor next to the file you want to open; 

then, press enter.

4. Most of the time, the file you chose will open immediately.

If the NEO asks you to press enter to open the file in another file number, 
it’s because the file you chose is already open in that file number. This 
prevents you from working on the same file in more than one location.

If the NEO asks if you want to keep the current file, it’s because the file 
you chose in step 1 already has text in it, and that file hasn’t been named. 
If you want to use that file again, press y and enter a name so you’ll be 
able to select it later; after you do that, the new file you chose will open. If 
you don’t want to name the current file, press n to discard it and open the 
new one you’ve chosen.
