These can be opened directly by selecting the file name from the File menu or using the shortcut key sequence ALT-F followed by the number (1-4) of the desired file. Note: files created by previous versions of THS 2000 can be opened, but they will only contain a single site in the site-list. If this file is modified and saved, you will no longer be able to open it from previous versions of THS 2000. Saving A Site-list A site-list can be saved to disk by using the Save or Save As commands from the File menu (or the toolbar button). These commands will invoke the standard Windows dialog for saving a file. Note: files saved by this version of software will not be readable by previous versions of THS 2000. 3. 3.
