The window's name is "Untitled", and is empty. File Save The Save command allows you to save the current editor window to a disk file. If the window already has a name, the file will be saved under this same name. If you wish to save the file under a new name, select the File|Save As command instead. File Save As The Save As command allows you to save the current editor window to a new file name. Note that if an editor window does not have a name (it is called "Untitled") selecting File|Save will execute the Save As dialog box. File Save All The Save all command saves all editor windows to disk. File Change Dir Change Dir brings up the Change Directory dialog box, in which you can change the current directory.

Executing the Undo command will cause the line to revert back to its original version. Note that changes which can be undone are grouped into similar actions, such as typing, or deleting characters. Any action type you perform that is different than the last action type will cause the Undo information to be lost. Edit The Cut command removes the selected text and places it on the Clipboard. Any information previously on the clipboard is lost. Text cut from the editor may be immediately replaced by selecting the Undo command before moving the cursor.
