New Use to create a blank canvas.
When MyPaintShow Editor starts, it selects New from the file menu for you.

Open Use to open an existing Show file.

Close Use to close the current Show file.
This will also cause the current canvas to close. The Editor window will become gray in color to indicate that there is no canvas. You will be prompted to save your work if you haven’t done so already.

Save Use to save your Show file.
If you haven’t selected a name for your file, you will be prompted to do so. If you haven’t signed your Show file yet, you will also be prompted to do that. See Signature below.

SaveAs Use to save your Show file using a new file name. Any subsequent saves will be saved to the new file name. This dialog box always starts in the folder selected as your drawings folder in MyPaintShow Screensaver Settings dialog. If you haven’t signed your Show file yet, you will also be prompted to do that. See Signature below.

Signature Use to sign your Show file. Once a Show file is signed, the signature cannot be changed. Your signature appears at the lower right hand corner of the screen when your Show file is played.
