Saving and Loading a MathPrint™ Emulator State
When you save the MathPrint™ emulator state, a file is created that stores the
emulator settings with all of the changes that you have made.
For example, you might want to set up a class presentation by entering data in a data
editor and functions in the f(x) and g(x). When you save your changes in an emulator
state file, you simply load the file to show your presentation. If you want to create
different presentations for different classes, you can create multiple emulator state
files.
