Using TEDscape

The section describes how to open and save files in TEDscape.

Opening Files

With TEDscape, you can drag and drop files from anywhere in the TriTeal Enterprise Desktop to Netscape Navigator to open or display them.


Note - Only URL files can be dragged from TEDscape to the desktop.


TEDscape can handle all CDE and TED file types. However, they will be displayed as source unless there is internal support for a particular file type (such as GIF and JPEG images).

Saving Files

With TEDscape, you can save URL and image files using the drag and drop features of the TriTeal Enterprise Desktop.

URL Files

TEDscape lets you save a URL file simply by drag and drop. When you run Netscape Navigator with the TEDscape you will notice URL icon at the bottom of the browser.

To save the URL of a document

  1. Open TEDscape.
  2. Open a document (either local or remote).
  3. When the document is loaded place the pointer on the URL icon at the bottom of TEDscape and press mouse button 1.
  4. Drag the URL icon to the desktop, Mailer, or File Manager.

    The URL of the document is saved.

Saving Images

It is not possible to use the URL icon to save image files that are contained in larger documents. To save image files, you will need to isolate the image onto its own page and then use the drag and drop method described earlier.

To save image files in TEDscape

  1. Position the pointer over the image you want to save and press mouse button 3.

    This will open the Netscape Command menu.

    The image will now appear by itself in the TEDscape window.
