Preserve your program for posterity

1.
If you want to print your program, select ``Print'' from the File menu.
2.
When you are done working on the program, close the source code window and the project window. Open the project folder on the desktop. You should see the project file (Hello.$\pi$), the source code file (Hello.java), and the byte code file (Hello.class). The byte code file was created by the compiler when you compiled the program. You can keep it around or you can discard it.

3.
Move your folder from the desktop onto a floppy disk or over the network to somewhere where you can get at it later. Please clean up after yourself. Do not leave files lying around on the lab machines. They will be deleted (eventually).

4.
IMPORTANT: when you run your program later, always copy the entire project folder onto the local hard disk where you are running. If you run your program off a floppy disk or over the network, it will run incredibly slowly.
