and Run under Production which doesn't:
When you create a new program, it is based on the New.BAS program. It will get the name "New 1.BAS" or whatever digit that is after the last existing one.
Your new program will be a simple hello world program (copied from new.bas), and will be instantly in the "production" promotion level.
Now is a good time to rename the program. Use "File" Save As, click "rename", enter the new name, and click OK. (If you wanted to "Save As" with the "copy" option, that creates a new program as a copy of your current program with the entered name, and then opens that new program.)
Keep in mind: that "Save As" does not save to your device's file system. That is just making changes to the BAM instance that is currently in your browser. Eventually, you need to press that save button (that button in the top-ish left corner) to save everything to your file system.
The second you start editing a program, the program goes from "production" promotion level to "development". You then have two versions of your program: the current production version and the current development version.
You can compare the development version to the production version at any time to see progress/differences.
When you are happy with your development version, promote it (via the menu item under project) to production level (as in your are done your changes, and you are replacing the previous production code with the development code your are happy with.
Apologies, I have to cut it short there. Gots to get back to work.
