DON’T WRITE—PROTECT YOUR. WORKING DISKS

Most disks have a small notch on one edge called a write—enableor write—protectnotch. Only if your computer senses that this notch is present will it record new information on the disk. Many programs.suggest that you protect them from inadvertent erasure by covering this notch with a small “write—protect tab.” DON’T do this with your ThinkTank work-

ing disks! ThinkTank is designed so that information must often be stored on both the THINKTANK PROGRAM.DISK and your data disks. They must not be write—protected.

For extra security, you may Want to write—protect your backup copies of these disks -- the ones you don’t use from day to day. You may cover the notch with one of the tabs supplied with most disks or with a piece of adhesive tape. Remember to remove it if you ever have to use one of your backup disks in your computer.

EXITING FROM THINKTANK

Once you’ve loaded an outline, the ThinkTank screen looks like Figure 2—6. Notice the message:

(ESC) TO EXIT THINKTANK

at the bottom of the screen. To exit from the program, you simply press the ESC (ESCAPE) key -- ThinkTank’s all—purpose escape valve.

Try it. ThinkTank asks you to confirm your intention as shown in Figure 2—9. If you respond Y (for YES), ThinkTank

will close your files and return you to the PASCAL operating system. (If you respond N for NO, ThinkTank will return you to your outline.) When you see the PASCAL command prompt:

Command: E(dit, R(un, F(ile, C(omp,

L(ink, X(ecute, A(ssem, D(ebug, ?

(or at least part of it), you can run another program or turn off your computer.
