To select non-contiguous items in the list, hold down the cCTRL key and click the items.

Click Export. A file dialog will appear, allowing you to specify the name of the package file. Be sure the file has the .package extension. The results of the export operation will be displayed in the status area at the bottom of the window.

Note that some global changes you make with the Modifier and Report Writer can’t be included in a package file. For instance, changes to picture resources or global data types won’t be included in package files.
