<h2>Files</h2>
<p CLASS="Para">The projects, folders and files that you create with the Workbench are
all stored under a single directory that represents your workspace. The location of
the workspace was set in the dialog that first opens when you start the Workbench.</p>
<p>If you have forgotten where that location is, you can find it by selecting
<b>File > Switch Workspace...</b>. The workspace directory will be displayed in
the dialog that appears.
<b>IMPORTANT:</b> After recording this location, hit <b>Cancel</b> to close the dialog,
or the Workbench will exit and re-open on whatever workspace was selected.</p>
<p CLASS="Para">All of the projects, folders and files that you create with the
Workbench are stored as normal directories and files on the machine. This allows
the use of other tools when working with the files.
Those tools can be completely oblivious to the Workbench. A later section will
look at how to work with external editors that are not integrated into the Workbench.</p>
