PDS:Save As
From OptiTexHelpEn
Use this command in order to save the currently existing style, with a different name or as a different type of file. This is usually used when doing a big change in a style and wanting to keep the original file for revision. Same thing can be used, although less recommended due to file size, with the History. .
