The "AM/AMV" folder, located in each of topic folders mentioned above, contains all the files that will be created when performing the lessons. You will probably never need them, because you will create these files yourself anyway.
When you perform the lessons you are sometimes asked to save a file. Save it to the MyFiles folder Example: You are working through the surfaces lessons. They are located inside a folder named "Surfaces Basics". When you are asked to save your work, you should save them to the MyFiles which is located
inside the "Surfaces Basics" folder.
