Section 15 Exiting PCS

If the Main menu is active, the PCS program can be ended by pressing the F10 Exit function key or by selecting the Exit option from the F1 File pull-down menu. This causes the following message to appear on the screen.

If you enter Y, the PCS program is exited. If you enter N, the PCS program is not exited and the Main menu remains active.

Note

If you turn off or reboot your computer before exiting PCS, clusters will be lost on your hard disk. Lost clusters do not imply that your disk is damaged, only that there is disk capacity that is unused but not managed by the DOS (operating system). This condition may be checked for, and corrected, by using the DOS CHKDSK utility. See your PC's MS-DOS manual for details on running

CHKDSK.
