The Append option will open a file and stick it beginning-to-end with the currently open file automatically and seamlessly. This option gives you the ability to load a single file as large as your memory allows instead of limiting the size of the file to the size of a single floppy disk.

Use this option to quickly piece back together a file you have stored to different disks or to stick together two different files without having to: I) open, 2) select all, 3) copy, 4) change windows, and 5) paste.

The first file opened will determine the playback setting for the appended files and whether the file will be stereo or mono.

->If you open a stereo file and then append a mono file to it, the mono file will be split into two channels (not true stereo but split mono).

->If you open a mono file and append a stereo file to it, the two channels of the stereo file will be combined into one mono channel.

Close (-W)

Close a file with this command or by clicking on the square in the upper left corner of the sound graph window.

If you have made changes to the file without saving them, a dialog box will appear asking if you want to save changes to this file before closing.

Click No’ to keep the file as it was when loaded or as it was when it was last saved.

Click Yes’ to save the file in its current state.

Click Cancel to stop the ‘Close’ and return you to the program with the file still loaded.
