File name displays the name of the file that will be loaded when you select a file and click OK. The box above it will

contain the list of files in the folder shown by: Look in:. If that is pointing to the wrong location, you can click the little

inverted triangle on the right side of the white look-in bar to drop down a list of locations to choose from.

To navigate through the folder structure, you click on the folder icons in the box or the Look in selection box. To go up

one directory level click on the yellow box with the up arrow. For example, to navigate to the C:\LoranGPS folder, you

would first click on the C: icon in the window to go to the root folder, then using the scroll bar, move down until you see

the LoranGPS folder. Double clicking on that folder will open it and show you the files in the window. It only shows

files of the type shown in the Files of type selection box that is right above the OPEN button.

The Files of type box contains the expansion arrow on the right that, when pressed, drops down a list of file types.

These selections allow you to load other file types as long as the program recognizes them. You can currently open files

with the extensions of: ADM, GDB, GPX, HWR, MPS, RWF, USR, and XML by selecting files of type *.*. You would

also use it if you are upgrading from the DOS versions of the PROGRAM or want to work on track files. For example,

to load a DOS LORAN PROGRAM file, first be sure you have navigated to the right folder. For versions 2.0 to 3.5, you

then change the file type to [*.DT0] and those types of files will appear in the window. Alternatively, for upgrading

convenience, you can upgrade all old files at once using the FILE>BACKUP/RESTORE menu choice in paragraph 1.6.

1.3 Save File Hot Key Ctrl-S

This saves the file in dBase III format that is the standard file format for the program. The file will be saved in the

currently used drive and folder. If you need to verify that you are saving it in the proper place, use the FILE>SAVE

FILE AS command.

A note on files on a computer. Files are stored on the hard disk drive; nominally in C:\LoranGPS\. When you OPEN a

file you make a copy of that file and put it into memory (RAM) to work on. It still exists on the hard disk in its original

form. The program adds waypoints to the disk file at the same time as waypoints are added to the in-memory copy. The

program doesn’t, however, modify the disk copy as waypoints are edited/deleted or the file is sorted. You must SAVE

the file after it has been modified if you want the editing changes retained. If you want to discard those changes, just

don’t SAVE the changed file.
