- While Macaulay is active, files cannot be saved in the
normal way. Instead, one must save a file (corresponding to the
contents of a window) by closing that window - just click in the
close box at the upper right hand corner. Then select "Open" from the
file menu and reopen the window to go back to work. It is
sometimes important to do this, because if Macaulay crashes the
contents of windows that have been put there since the last save
will be lost. (Note that the Worksheet cannot be closed, and thus it
cannot be saved while Macaulay is running.) An option is of course
to quit Macaulay (type exit or command-.), save the file in the usual
way, and then restart Macaulay in the Worksheet and get back to
where you were by selecting all of the window you are working from
and typing <enter>.
- Output from Macaulay will appear wherever the cursor is in
the Worksheet. Thus to be sure that output appears at the end of the
Worksheet, after moving the cursor by clicking elsewhere within the
Worksheet, it is necessary to click at the end of the Worksheet.
