The File menu

### 3.4.1 The File menu

The File menu contains commands that are used to save sessions and parts of sessions and load previously saved sessions. This menu contains the following entries:

- New Session
  This will create and open a new session. This session will be in a new tab labeled Unnamed until you save it (using the menu item File▸Save or the keystroke Alt+S).
- Open
  This will open a previously saved session. There will be a submenu with a list of saved session files in the primary directory that you can open, as well as a File item which will open a directory browser you can use to find a session file. This directory browser can also be opened with Alt-O.
- Import
  This will allow you to open a session that was created with the Maple CAS, a TI89 calculator or a Voyage200 calculator. These sessions can then be executed with the Edit▸Execute Session menu entry, but it may be better to execute the commands one at a time to see if any modifications need to be done.
