Create New Source Files

You may create a new source file with the menu option File — New. This opens an empty editor window where you can enter your source code. µVision3 enables the C color syntax highlighting when you save your file with the dialog File — Save As... under a filename with the extension *.C. We are saving our example file under the name MAIN.C.
