SELECTIVE SAVE SSV Standard Interactive-only Verb General Vocabulary Operation
Target =

Lets you mark one or more verbs in the vocabulary. SELECTIVE SAVE then
builds a tree of all the verbs used by the marked verbs and also marks these
verbs. You may view which verbs are marked and which not.
When all the verbs have been marked you may then order PRAGMA to discard all
the unmarked verbs and unused nouns. File definitions are also discarded but
actual data files are not.

SELECTIVE SAVE ...
Type name of item to save,
LV, LF, or LN to list items,
or RETURN if no more. -> VERBNAME
VERBNAME is the name of the verb from which the tree of marked verbs will be
built.

SEE ALSO: LIST VERBS / LIST FILES / LIST NOUNS

SELECTIVE SAVE does not attempt to discard file data. File definitions may be discarded, but the actual data in those files will not. PRAGMA does not attempt to find out which file manager the discarded files are used with, or even if the .PFM or .BTR files are present. It is up to you to delete the file manager data files if you wish to. There is also no more option to mark all files as saved, as it is unnecessary. SELECTIVE SAVE is now only a vocabulary operation.

The files and vocabulary have effectively been separated in PRAGMA. File definitions are considered to be vocabulary, whereas the file records themselves, and the files they live in, are not.

SELECTIVE SAVE does not compact your PRVOCAB.PFM file.
