The File menu contains commands that are used to save
sessions and parts of sessions and load previously saved sessions.
This menu contains the following entries:

(using the menu item File▸Save or the
keystroke Alt+S). - Open

was created with the Maple CAS, a TI89 calculator or a Voyage200

modifications need to be done. - Clone
