Jyoti: Hello Moz, I want to draw a new picture today. Should I click the 
New option to get a blank canvas?
Moz: Yes. You can use the New option to get a blank canvas. 
You can draw and paint your new picture here.
Jyoti [after drawing the picture]: You said that, we should 
use the Save option to save the picture in a file. What is 
a file?
 Moz: A File is like a page in your notebook. Every time you use a new 
canvas, the picture will be saved as a new file.
Tejas: I clicked the Open option. It shows many saved pictures. There is 
also the picture that I drew last time! 
Moz: The Open option gives a list of all the saved files. You can continue to 
draw and change any of these pictures.

 Save and Print a file.
Quit an activity.
Learning Outcome
     
Jyoti: I clicked on Quit to close the activity. What is this new 
dialog box?
Moz: You did not Save your picture before you clicked Quit. So the 
computer gives you a chance to save the picture. If you were just exploring 
the options and don?t want to save the picture, you can choose NO and quit 
without saving the picture.
Shall I tell you one more interesting fact? The actions that 
you have learnt today - New, Open, Save, and Quit - are 
the same in all the other activities also! You have to just 
look for them.
