Question 4: How can we save this output onto a file for future use?
Output is a problem with CMA2. There is no continuous recording of results as with SPSS, or log file function as with Stata.
We can print the results screen by clicking "File", "Print". This sends the results to the default printer of the computer.
We can choose any of the installed print devices using "Print set-up". This might include output "devices" such as a PDF printer. You can write to a PDF file using this, but must set up a new file for each page of output.

The following don't work, but crash CMA and you will lose any unsaved data:
