Operations Involving Tools and Projects
Opening Tools and Projects
When you open a tool or project, you open a window that lets you see the
contents of the project or that lets you communicate with the tool. There are
two ways to open a tool or project:
• Select the icon for the tool or project, then choose Open from
the Workbench menu.
• Point to the icon, then double-click the Selection button.
Opening a project automatically opens the tool used to create it.
On the Amiga, you can have more than one tool open at the same time. This
ability is called multitasking : the Amiga is able to perform several tasks at
once. Note, however, that each new tool you open requires a certain
amount of memory. Memory is the set of electronic circuits within the
Amiga used to keep information. If, when you try to open an additional
tool, there isn't sufficient memory for it, the Workbench gives you the
message "Cannot open [name of the tool]. Error 103" at the top of the
screen.
Duplicating Tools and Projects
Duplicating a tool or project means to make an identical copy in the drawer
in which the tool or project resides. To duplicate, select the icon for the tool
or project, then choose Duplicate from the Workbench menu.
The name of the new tool or project is "copy of" added to the name of the
tool or project that was copied. For ex ample, duplicating the Clock gives
you a
new tool named "copy of Clock ."
