The entire state of a session can be stored into a single (.oes) file. A state file contains all of the molecules, grids, and surfaces that were loaded at the time when the state save occured. In addition, the state file contains the actual view, layout, and properties of that session. State files provide an extremely convenient way to save a session for later work or to send to a collaborator. Furthermore, state files are the fastest method of reading and writing data sets.
To save a state file, select the ``Save State" option in the File menu and specify the desired state file.
