wizard dialogs allow you to assign a File Template, File Name and

Add Existing Module File Opens the Add Existing Module File dialog, where you can add an
existing Module file to the System containing the selected Module
folder. The new file will be added to the selected Module folder.
Docking View Changes the Workspace Window to a dockable window that can be
resized and moved to anywhere within the NetLinx Studio work area.

Compile Compiles the selected Module file. This option is available only if the
selected file is an AXS file (not available for TOK or JAR files).
Remove File From System Click to remove the selected Module file from the System that it is
saved in. The program prompts you to confirm this action before the
file is deleted from the System. The file is not deleted from disk.
