# The File Menu

The File menu provides commands for overall control of the YAAC application. The commands include:

- Load - load into YAAC a saved file of:
  - APRS Packets - APRS and/or other protocol packets/frames
  - Objects and Items - UIView-compatible .pos file containing Object and Item records
  - Tactical names - alternate (tactical) names and/or symbols for specific stations and/or objects
- Save - save to a disk file:
  - APRS Packets - the currently collected and viewed APRS and other protocol packets/frames
  - Objects and Items - a UIView-compatible .pos file of all currently live Objects and Items
  - Tactical names - currently defined alternate (tactical) names and symbols for stations and/or objects
- Print - send the current map or table display to the printer.
- Clear the records loaded into the table viewed in the current window (for tables whose contents can be cleared; the menu choice will appear only when valid, currently only for the Raw Packets, Raw Messages, Bulletins, and DX views), and will raise a confirmation dialog to ensure you really want to make this irreversible operation before it does it. There are three variations, to delete all messages, only real-time messages, and only logfile playback messages.

  - Download OpenStreetMap Extract Dataset - launch your web browser pointed at a site from which you can download OpenStreetMap datasets
