1.Copy what files/folders you want a disc image of in your virtual C-
Drive Folder.

3.You will see a disc A icon as well as B. If there are any "discs" 
in drive A, drag them out to the bottom directory where you can keep 
your disc images. If you don't have any, there should be a blank 
space below the the A/B drive feilds.
4. In the Directory feild below the A/B drive feilds, RIGHT CLICK and 
select NEW STANDARD DISC IMAGE. Once you select it, you will see a 
NEW DISC in the directory area.

close the Disc manager dialog. 
6.Start Steem Atari emulation by either clicking the mouse into the 
desktop or hitting the green arrow to the left. In other words..get 
to your Atari desktop.
7.Now simply drag the files you want a disc image of to the A drive 
Icon on the desktop. This will create a disc image of the files, that 
later when quitting Steem, will be a file with the ST extension in 
your A-Drive Folder.
