sql*forms question from a newbie

Which guru among you can explain sqlforms30 Open, Load & Help/List Forms?

Here's what I know: if I have "the_screen.inp", for example, file in a unix dir and I cd to that directory, and then run sqlforms30, I can not use help/list form to see the name of the thing & I also cannot Open the thing. I can, however, load it. Once I've loaded it, I know I can use image/painter & work with it. This I learned without the benefit of tutorial or text.

After I made a change to the_screen.inp I saved it. I then exited sqlforms30 and restarted it to see what I could see. I now have "the_screen" in my help/list forms
output & can select it ... but I'm not sure what selecting it actually does. I can now
also "open" the_screen but again, I'm not sure what this is doing. Finally, when I "load" the_screen & use image/painter it shows me my original screen without the changes I made earlier.

Where did my new version of the_screen go? How do I save the_screen.inp over the top of the_screen.inp file that's in the unix directory that I'm in?

Thanks for your assistance,
