To move forward or backward in the procedure, click Next or Back.

1. In the NetBeans IDE Projects panel, right–click the DemoDMProject project you just created, and select New->EDM.

   The New File Wizard appears.

   For this exercise, name the file demoDMfile; the program adds the .edm extension.
