identifier), and add text comments to assist in managing multiple revisions of the same file.
Additionally, the program automatically includes a date/time stamp in the revision information.
This file revision information is then added as a block of text to the top of the source code file when
the revision is saved.
Use the options in the Save File Revision dialog (File > Save File Revision) to view/edit the

with this revision that you would like to include.
