The Open Script command, similarly to the Save As command, opens up a dialog box that allows you to find the file to open.

Show how to display the Open dialog

1. Click on File on the program menu.
2. Click on Open Script.
3. The Open dialog box appears (shown below).

The Open dialog features all of the same controls that are present on the Save As dialog box, plus gives the added ability to re-size its window, and optionally to open files in read-only mode.

To open a file, click the file once in the file list, then click the Open button -- or double-click the file.

Also, you can open several files at once. To do so, hold down on the CTRL key while selecting files, which will enable you to select more than one. Once you've highlighted all the files you want to open, click on the Open button.

As the final step in this section, open several of the example scripts that are included with the program -- we will be working with them in the next section.
