ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5) _______________________________________________________________________________ pw "pad write" DESCRIPTION: Use 'pw' to flush the edit file to disk. The window remains open. pw has no effect on read-only windows. The first time pw is issued for an edit window, a '.bak' file is created (unless you have disabled the creation of such a file via your .Xdefaults file or the ce command line options). The '.bak' file is a copy of the edit file prior to any changes being applied. Subsequent pw commands rewrite the edit file to the disk without affecting the '.bak' file. If the write of a file fails, the pad write command attempts to create a crash file. Crash files are suffixed with the name of the file suffixed by '.CRA'. Ce makes several attempts to create the crash file. A description of crash file creation can be found in the Backup Concepts help file.
