  will be lost.}
  
 @item{@defmenuitem{Save Definitions} Saves the program in the
  @tech{definitions window}. If the program has never been saved
  before, a save-file dialog appears.}
  
 @item{@defmenuitem{Save Definitions As...} Opens a save-file dialog for
  choosing a destination file to save the program in the definitions
  window. Subsequent saves write to the newly-selected file.}
  
 @item{@defmenuitem{Save Other} Contains these sub-items
 @itemize[

 @item{@defmenuitem{Save Definitions As Text...} Like @onscreen{Save
  Definitions As...}, but the file is saved in plain-text format (see
  @secref["drscheme-file-formats"]). Subsequent saves also write in
  plain-text format.}
  
 @item{@defmenuitem{Save Interactions} Saves the contents of the interactions
  window to a file. If the interaction constants have never been saved
  before, a save-file dialog appears.}

@item{@defmenuitem{Log Definitions and Interactions...} Starts a
  running of log of the text in the interactions and definitions

  is the only open DrScheme window, then DrScheme quits, except under
  Mac OS X.}

 @item{{@onscreen{Quit} or @onscreen{Exit}} Exits DrScheme. (Under Mac
  OS X, this menu item is in the Apple menu.)}

interactions window, depending on the location of the selection or
blinking caret. Each window maintains its own Undo and Redo history.

  maintains a history of actions, so multiple @onscreen{Undo}
  operations can reverse multiple editing actions.}

 @item{@defmenuitem{Redo} Reverses an @onscreen{Undo} action. Each
  window (and boxed-subwindow) maintains its own history of
  @onscreen{Undo} actions, so multiple @onscreen{Redo} operations can
  reverse multiple @onscreen{Undo} actions.}

  deletes it from the window.}

 @item{@defmenuitem{Copy} Copies the selected text to the clipboard.}

   window, this causes the test reports attached to appropriate DrScheme tabs
   to become separate windows.}
 
 @item{@defmenuitem{Show Tracing} Shows a trace of functions called since
   the last time @onscreen{Run} was clicked. This menu is useful only if
   you have enabled tracing in the @onscreen{Choose Language...} dialog's
