In the Scripting window, click Browse
In the file browser window, change File of Type to All Files (*.*)
Select the file ending in .psx, then click Open.
In the Scripting window, click Replay.

In the Pad Designer window, select File > Script
In the Scripting window, click Browse
In the file browser window, change "File of Type" to "Script Files" (*.scr)
Select a file ending in "_pad.scr", then click Open
In the Scripting window, click Replay
4. Import package
In Allegro, select File > Script
In the Scripting window, click Browse
