SED Menu

File menu

New	Do what they are supposed to do. You can open .WDL or .C scripts, .FX effect files, or all other sorts of text files. It's no problem to use SED as a replacement for the Notepad editor. If you save a file, the previous version will be kept as a backup when set in Preferences. The Publish operation creates a .CD folder that contains the project ready for distribution.
