Close command

Use this command to close all windows containing the active document.  WebDesigner suggests that you save changes to your document before you close it.  If you close a document without saving, you lose all changes made since the last time you saved it.  Before closing an untitled document, WebDesigner displays the Save As dialog box and suggests that you name and save the document.

You can also close a document by using the Close icon on the document's window, as shown below:

Save command

Use this command to save the active document to its current name and directory.  When you save a document for the first time, WebDesigner displays the Save As dialog box so you can name your document.

You may then fill out the To: field, Subject: field, etc., and add text to the body of the message if you wish.  When you are finished you may click the "Send" button to send the message.

Exit command (File menu)

Use this command to end your WebDesigner session.  You can also use the Close command on the application Control menu.  WebDesigner prompts you to save documents with unsaved changes.

Status Bar

The status bar is displayed at the bottom of the WebDesigner window.  To display or hide the status bar, use the Status Bar command in the View menu.

The left area of the status bar describes actions of menu items as you use the arrow keys to navigate through menus.  This area similarly shows messages that describe the actions of toolbar buttons as you depress them, before releasing them.
