Editor

The Editor tool is a basic text editor. Only one file can be open at a time. You must save or discard any changes before you can open a new file.

The Editor consists of three frames: a header frame that displays the filename, a menu frame, and a text-entry area.

The Editor tool contains the following interface elements:

File Menu
