The Favorites menu shows a list of Favorite SQL files. It maps onto a directory on your hard disk. It will look for all .sql files in that directory and subdirectories and will display them in the list.

The first option in the Favorites menu is an add option. It allows you to create a new favorite. In the Add dialog you can type the SQL and give the new favorite a name. The name is used to create the file: name.sql. You can choose in which directory to create the new SQL file.

When you copy .sql files into the directory structure yourself, you may need to restart SQL*XL to make the new .sql files appear. The SQL files are simpel text files.
