If, after selection of the project, new variables are to be added, a complete list of NC variables must be selected.
No complete list need be called if the user only wishes to delete variables from the project.
Storing a project
The variable list is stored using the "Project" > "Save" or "Save As...." menu items.
"Save" stores the variable list under a path, which is already specified. If the project path is not known, then the
procedure is as for "Save As....".
"Save As..." displays a window in which the path for the project to be stored can be specified.
