2.10. Details of File and Edit Operations

The File menu contains typical commands for manipulating data files and performing other system-level functions. 'File New Test' creates a new blank test in a new display window. 'File Open Test' opens an existing test from a previously saved file, displaying in the current display window or a new window as selected by the user. 'File Close Test' closes the currently active test, offering to save if it has been modified since opening. (The currently active test is the one on which the user has most recently performed a command.) 'File Close All' closes all open tests, offering to save any that have been modified. 'File Save Test' saves the currently active test on the file from which it was opened, or on a new file if it was created from a new display. 'File Save Test As' allows the current test to be saved on a different file from which it was opened or most recently saved upon. 'File Save All' saves all currently open test. 'File Print Test' prints the contents of the currently active display window in a form suitable for output to a printing device capable of displaying text and graphics. 'File Quit' exits the Test Tool.

The Edit menu contains commands for manipulating test data during editing. 'Edit Undo' undoes the most recently completed editing commands. Repeated successive invocations of 'Undo' will undo successively earlier commands. 'Edit Redo' redoes the most recently undone commands. Repeated successive invocations of 'Redo' will redo the series of undone commands in reverse order. 'Edit Cut' removes and copies the currently selected datum in the current display. 'Edit Copy' copies the currently selected datum without removing it. 'Edit Paste' inserts the most recently cut or copied datum at the currently selected edit point in the current display. 'Edit Delete' removes the currently selected datum without copying it. 'Edit Select All' selects all editable data in the current display. 'Edit Find' performs a search for a given text string. The search is performed in the active window, either the question database or a test; successive invocations of search with an unchanged search string searches for further occurrences of the string until all occurrences are found.
