                                  FIND FILE

Use the FIND FILE key when you want to work on a new file.   EMACS  will  prompt
you  for  the  name  of the new file.  You can use "wildcards" (@ signs) in your
response.   EMACS  will  place  the  found  file(s)  in  new buffer(s).  You can
inspect  many  files  in many buffers and not have to save one before looking at
the next.  Thus it IS possible to "abandon" buffers with unsaved changes.

To avoid this, use the WRITE FILE or SAVE FILE keys  before  pressing  the  FIND
FILE  key.   You  can always return to a buffer with unsaved changes later, with
the mod_select_buf command.  (This is bound to CONTROL-X B in SUIX mode.)

Previous releases of SUI  provided  an  obsolete  <<and  UNSUPPORTED>>  function
named  GET FILE for loading files into buffers.  If you use a PT45 or PST100 SUI
template, you might consider changing the label from GET FILE to FIND FILE.

To change a given EMACS SUI session from using FIND FILE, back to GET FILE,  use
the set_get_file command.  Change it back with the set_find_file command.

To find out how to  permanently  continue  using  the  old  GET  FILE  function,
instead of the newer FIND FILE, see the documentation.
