This section covers how to edit part programs after a program has already
been selected to edit as described in section 5.1.
CAUTION: Any edit operation that is performed on a part
program is permanent. There is no way to discard any changes
that have been made to a program. Programs are saved in
memory at the same time they are edited.
There are two major sections to the edit screen. They are:
The input area. This area is in lines 2 and 3 of the screen and is where
the characters appear when typed in on the keyboard.
The program display area. This area is in lines 7-20 of the screen and is
where the control displays the part program blocks as they have
currently been edited.
