Most of the items in this menu are used to read and write entries and parts of entries, the exceptions are Clone and Close.
Read the features from a tab file (see the section called "Tab" Files or "Table" Files in Chapter 2) and then insert them in order into the current default entry (see the section called The Default Entry in Chapter 2).
Read an entry, but keep it separate from the others. A new button will be created on the entry button line for the new entry. The new entry will be marked as active (see the section called The Active Entries in Chapter 2) and will be the new default entry (see the section called The Default Entry in Chapter 2).
Make a new main window with the same contents as the current window. All changes in the old window will be reflected in the new window, and vice versa. The exception to this rule is the selection (see the section called The Selection in Chapter 2), which is not shared between the old and new window.
Save the default entry to the file it came from, unless the entry has been given a new name, in which case the entry is saved to a file with that name.
This item will ask the user to choose an entry (a small window will open with a button for each entry), and will then do the same as "Save Default Entry".
This will ask the user to choose an entry, then ask for the name of file to save the entry to. The name of entry (as displayed in the entry button line) will change to the new name.
This does the same as "Save An Entry As ...", but will write an entry/tab file that contains only valid EMBL qualifiers (see the section called extra_qualifiers in Chapter 2). It will also check that the start and stop codons of each CDS are sensible and that no two features have the same key and location.
This acts like "Save Default Entry", but save all the entries.
Ask the user to choose an entry (a small window will open with a button for each entry), then set the default entry to whichever entry is chosen.
Display a small text entry box which will allow the user to set the name of the default entry.
Close this window.
