This dialogue box contains a text box for entering the script file name. When the ‘New’ dialogue box opens, a text insertion point is already in the text box and you can type a name up to 12 characters long.
•Type the desired script file name in the text box.
•Click on the ‘Ok’ push button.
A new script file opens and the name appears in the title bar at the top of the window. The ‘Current’ list box will be empty, and all existing information relating to votings, scripts and results is removed. If you attempt to open a new script file before saving changes to the current one, a warning message with the following text is displayed:
‘Changes have been made to <filename>.’ ‘Do you want to save?’
•Click on the ‘Yes’ push button to save the changed script file and open the new script file.
•Click on the ‘No’ push button to open the new script file without saving the changed script file.
•Click on the ‘Cancel’ push button to leave the ‘New’ dialogue box without opening a new script file.
