So I want to:
1. create folder
2. name folder
3. save new program into the new folder

Lamp that's the feature that let's you grab an entire folder and load it and it automatically creates a program for it.
It seemed like a great feature until we learned it makes you end up with a very unorganized program.
You know we all have habits on how we arrange things when we create programs, doing the folder load/create program has no form of functional structure in that regard.

If the 5k would have continued to live maybe we would have gotten a better method of controlling that.

not in from of the machine right now but I believe its save | Edit | new folder | name folder | ok

or something very close to that
