<h2>
Drag and drop or copy and paste</h2>
<p class="Para"> <img align="texttop" border="0" src="../images/win_only.png" alt="Windows only" /> 
  The operating system's file system explorer can be used to export a copy of 
  a folder or file from the Workbench to the file system.</p>
<ol>
  <li> 
    <p class="Para"> Open the operating system's file system explorer.</p>
  </li>
  <li> 
    <p class="Para"> Drag the file JanesFile.txt from one of the navigation view 
      to the file system explorer.</p>
  </li>
  <li> 
    <p class="Para">Depending on where you are dragging to, you may need to hold 
      down the Ctrl or Shift key while dragging to ensure the file is copied. 
      Look for a small plus sign on the drag cursor to know whether the file is 
      being copied or moved. </p>
  </li>
  <li> 
    <p class="Para"> The export can also be achieved by selecting the file in 
      the Navigator and choosing <b>Edit &gt; Copy</b>, then</p> 
    <p class="Para">pasting it in the file system explorer.</p> </li>
</ol>

    <p class="Para">The <b>Select Types</b> button can be used to filter the types 
      of resources to export.</p>
    <p class="Para"><strong>Note:</strong> To export JanesINIFile.ini only, simply 
      select it in the navigation view and choose <b>File &gt; Export</b>. The 
      Export wizard will automatically ensure it is the only file selected for
