Open
Keyboard: F8, Alt+F+O
This command is used to open an existing dialog, knowledge base or text file. Selecting a type in the combobox: List Files of Type, will cause a listing of files with the selected extension from current directory in the file list box. The types of files supported by ESTA are:
Extension Type
*.kb Compiled knowledge base files
*.kbt Text knowledge base files
*.log Dialog files
*.txt Text files
In the File Name dialog box you type or select from the list box the filename you want to open. To list other files type: an asterisk *, a period, and a three-character extension. For instance, if you want to see files with a ".def" extension in a directory type: *.def. All files can be seen by entering *.* .
The drive and the directory used to search for and open the file can be changed in the Drives: and Directories: boxes.
If you open a file with an extension other than those mentioned above, ESTA will attempt to treat it as a text file.
