Notepad

The Notepad program can be used to create text or doc files on your harddisk. You can use these to save any important information you may need. When an agent begins to delve into the Diagnostics Module they can create batch files to execute a series of command line commands. Raw batch files are created as docs with the notepad program before being compiled for use with the batch command.

To create a new doc file, open the Notepad program and type a file name into the small text box at the top. You can then type the text contents into the larger text box below it. When you are finished you can click on the Add New File button to create the doc file in the root directory in your File Management System. The file will take up 1QB of harddisk space. The file manager will not allow duplicate file names and any attempt to add a doc file with the same name as another will produce a bad filename error at the bottom of the notepad window.

To view or edit an existing doc file, drag the Notepad program and target the file. The file name and contents text box will change to show the file contents. You can edit the text and click on the Save Changes button to modify the files contents. Once you have selected a document and the program is displaying the contents you can move the Notepad elsewhere on your desktop. The text will be displayed until you close the program or you target another doc file and you can save any changes without retargeting the file.
