ThinkTank can be used in conjunction with a variety of other programs and commands which are listed on the SPECIALIST Command Menu and displayed with the SPECIAL command. For exam- ple, in some versions of ThinkTank the SPECIALIST Command Menu contains commands to format, copy, and list the contents of a floppy disk. When you select a SPECIALIST command, ThinkTank closes your outline and executes the command.

You can add commands to the SPECIALIST Menu with the UTILITIES/MENU command. However, this is a complex matter that should normally be attempted only by advanced users. See Chapter 5 and the MENU listing for further information.

If you give the FILES/EXISTS command (or start up Think— Tank and choose EXISTS) and you have a floppy disk system with three or more drives, ThinkTank displays the EXISTING FILE Menu. The SPECIFY option allows you to select the number of the drive that contains your outline.
