Starting from an existing script

In most cases it makes a lot of sense to start developing the script from an example obtained from the Enfocus web site or from another Switch user (see How to get more help for pointers to these resources).

To start developing your script package from an existing example:

Copy the example script package file under a new name (so that the original is preserved); do this in the system's file browser or by using the Save As menu item in SwitchScripter.
Double-click the copy to open it in SwitchScripter.
Adjust the configuration in the Declaration pane if needed (if the example is very similar to the script, change the script's name and perhaps its icon).
Adjust the program text in the Program pane as desired.
Press the "Save" tool button to save the script package.
Verify operation of the script as explained in Testing a script, adjust the script and its declaration as desired, and save the final result.
