There are two ways to save your program. You can use DIRECT mode and the SAVE instruction (the programmer's way), or you could use a shortcut. I'll just tell you the shortcut. 1. Go to the program slot you want to save. 2. Hold L or R. 3. While holding, press SAVE on the touch screen. 4. Give your program a name and press OK on all the dialogs you see. Your program is now saved!
