The PPG Menubar
To access File menu items, click on File > and then the menu item you want to use from the menubar as shown in Figure 6. Or use the appropriate keyboard short cut, indicated on the same line as the menu item. Many standard Windows keyboard shortcuts can be used. For example, to print, press simultaneously; to save, press Ctrl + S simultaneously.
Figure 6. File Menu
Like most software programs, PPG stores data in files. To save a program flow chart, you store it as a file. Once you have saved the file, you can open it and modify it. Use the File menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a file, save a file with a new name, close a file, and print a file.
Creating a New File (Ctrl+N)
To create a new flow chart, select File > New from the menubar. If no application is currently open, an empty flow chart is loaded into the PPG window. If an application is already open, a second copy of PPG will start and open the empty application.
