# Loading a HEX File

When parsing HEX file completes, FLIP updates the following information in the Buffer Information frame of the main window :

- Address range : read from the parsed HEX file

- HEX file name

- HEX file size

FLIP keeps track of the last visited directory and the six last loaded HEX files.
