How to make a scratch file?

[louy2]

In the section Setup > Making a Scratchfile, the paragraph only mentions

To do that, I have a separate file I call “Scratch”

Yet how to create this separate file is not mentioned. I started looking for "New File" without success.

There is also a strong relation that a file is a module, so I started looking for "New Module", which I found, but it not mentioned in the guide makes me unsure what to make of it.

Finally I remember that the guide until this point only mentioned creating spec, and creating a separate scratch spec works.

For the scratch spec, the screenshot shows the file name to be lowercase "scratch", but the listed code has titlecase MODULE Scratch which led to an error.

For the scratch model, the screenshot shows the Value box to the bottom, but the text reads "the output of Eval will be put on the box to the right."

I'll check through everything this week.

@louy2 So you're not left hanging, here's my textual guide:

• On the file manager, right-click for "New specification"
• Follow the file wizard to the end
• In your newly created spec, add the code as described in the book
• After writing the spec, ensure that it parses
• Create a new model by right-clicking "Models"
• Follow the rest of the guide

I know this isn't much of a guide, but hope it helps!
