<SECT1 ID="FILEMENU">
<TITLE>The File Menu</TITLE>
<PARA>
Most of the items in this menu are used to read and write entries and parts of
entries, the exceptions are Clone and Close.
</PARA>
<SECT2 ID="FILEMENU-SHOW-FILEMANAGER">
<TITLE>Show File Manager ...</TITLE>
<PARA>
This will open the file manager, or if it is already open will bring it
to the foreground. Entries can be dragged from the file manager into
the artemis main window and dropped. When dropped the entry is then read
in and displayed.
</PARA>
</SECT2>
<SECT2 ID="FILEMENU-READ-AN-ENTRY">
<TITLE>Read An Entry ...</TITLE>
<PARA>
Read an entry (see <XREF LINKEND="CONCEPTS-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 <XREF
LINKEND="CONCEPTS-ACTIVEENTRY">) and will be the new default entry (see <XREF
LINKEND="CONCEPTS-DEFAULTENTRY">).
</PARA>
<PARA>
See <XREF LINKEND="FILETYPES">.
This function only reads the feature section of the input file - the sequence
(if any) is ignored.
</PARA>
<SECT2 ID="FILEMENU-READ-ENTRY-INTO">
<TITLE>Read Entry Into</TITLE>
<PARA>
Read the features from an entry (see <XREF LINKEND="CONCEPTS-ENTRY">)
chosen by the user and then insert them into the entry selected by
the user.

<SECT2 ID="FILEMENU-SAVE-DEFAULT-ENTRY">
<TITLE>Save Default Entry</TITLE>
<PARA>
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.
If the entry has no name, &prog; will prompt the user for a new name.
[shortcut key: S]

<SECT2 ID="FILEMENU-SAVE-AN-ENTRY">
<TITLE>Save An Entry</TITLE>

<SECT3 ID="FILEMENU-SAVE-ENTRY-AS-EMBL">
<TITLE>EMBL Format</TITLE>
<PARA>
This does the same as "Save An Entry As -> New File ...", but will write the
features and sequence of the entry in EMBL format. Note that currently the
header of a GENBANK entry can't be converted to the equivalent EMBL header (it
will be discarded instead).
</PARA>
</SECT3>
<SECT3 ID="FILEMENU-SAVE-ENTRY-AS-GENBANK">
<TITLE>GENBANK Format</TITLE>
<PARA>
This does the same as "Save An Entry As -> New File ...", but will write the
features and sequence of the entry in GENBANK format. Note that currently the
header of a EMBL entry can't be converted to the equivalent GENBANK header (it
will be discarded instead).

<SECT3 ID="FILEMENU-SAVE-EMBL-SUBMISSION">
<TITLE>EMBL Submission Format</TITLE>
<PARA>
This does the same as "Save An Entry As -> EMBL Format ...", but
will write an entry/tab file that contains only valid EMBL qualifiers (see
<XREF LINKEND="OPTIONS-EXTRAQUALIFIERS">) and valid EMBL keys (see <XREF
LINKEND="OPTIONS-EXTRAKEYS">). It will also check that the start and stop
codons of each CDS are sensible, that no two features have the same key and
location and that all required EMBL qualifiers are present.

<PARA>
</PARA>
<SECT3 ID="WRITEMENU-AMINO-ACIDS-OF-SELECTED-FEATURES">
<TITLE>Amino Acids Of Selected Features</TITLE>
<PARA>
Prompt for a file name and then write the translation of the bases of the
selected features to that file. The file is written in FASTA format.
</PARA>
</SECT3>
<SECT3 ID="WRITEMENU-PIR-DATABASE-OF-SELECTED-FEATURES">
<TITLE>PIR Database Of Selected Features</TITLE>
<PARA>
Prompt for a file name and then write the translation of the bases of the
selected features to that file. The file is written in PIR format (similar to
FASTA, but with a * as the last line of each record).
</PARA>
</SECT3>
<SECT3 ID="WRITEMENU-BASES-OF-SELECTION">
<TITLE>Bases Of Selection</TITLE>
<PARA>
Prompt for a file name and then write the bases of the selection to that
file in the selected format. If the selection consists of features (rather
than a base range) then the bases of each feature
will be written to the file as a separate record. If the selection is a range
of bases, then those bases will be written.

<SECT3 ID="WRITEMENU-UPSTREAM-BASES-OF-SELECTION">
<TITLE>Upstream Bases Of Selection</TITLE>
<PARA>
Prompt for a number and a file name, then write that many bases upstream of
each selected feature to the file in the selected format. For example if the
selected feature has a
location of "<LITERAL>100..200</LITERAL>", then asking for 50 upstream will
write the bases in the range 50 to 99. Writing upstream bases of a feature on
the complementary strand will work in the expected way.

Prompt for a number and a file name, then write that many bases downstream of

database site</ULINK>. In the output file each codon is followed by it's
occurrence count (per thousand) and it's percentage occurrence. (See <XREF
