Open: open a previously stored net file by left clicking on this or hitting the "O" key causes a file selector box to appear:
The file selector box will appear with what XIKP thinks is the current working directory. This is a standard file selector box so either choose an existing file or fill the "Selection" window with a new file name.
Save: save a selected net by its previous name. A pointer will appear and the user should left click on any process box within the net to be saved in the drawing area.
Save As: same as above except that after selecting the net a file box appears allowing the user to save the net under a new or different name and in a specified directory.
Directory: left clicking this brings up a dialog box which
reports the current working directory and allows the user to enter a new working directory if ncessary.
Redisplay: by either left clicking or holding the control key down while hitting the L key (lower case) the drawing area is refreshed (note the cntrl+L sequence is the same as for the vi UNIX text editor).
Exit: exits from XIKP
