Paint Saving "Access Denied"

Hello! I'm pretty new to Computer Craft but I know most of the basic commands. I'm really interested in the Paint section of the Advanced Computer. I want to eventually make short animations that I could put on a monitor. Anyway, every time I try saving, it says "Access Denied". I'm not sure what the problem is. I do cd rom> cd programs> paint, and then I enter the "path", which I'm guessing means file name. Any information is greatly appreciated! ~Thank you :lol:/>

When you run paint from there, passing it a file name, you are attempting to create the file in that folder. The ROM folder and all of its sub folders are read-only. You should instead start the paint program from where you actually want to save the file. While in the root folder, run `paint filename` and it should work fine.

when you start the computer it should say "Craft OS" and then some numbers then ">" and a flashing "_". type this:
paint <filename>
the <filename> means the name of your file
