Editing Programs On Line

Chapter 5

5-40

You can assign each individual program a short comment that is displayed
on the program directory screens. Use these comments to help identify a
program when selecting it for automatic operation or for editing.

Important: These comments are not normally the same as a comment
block made within a part program. Comment blocks are covered on page
10-10. If a comment block is assigned as the first block of the part
program, it is also displayed on the program directory screen as a
comment. Any other comment blocks have no affect on the comment
display.

To assign a comment to a program without using a comment block as the
first block of the program, follow these steps:

1.

Press the

{PRGRAM MANAGE}

softkey. This displays the program

directory screen. Any existing comments that have previously been
assigned to a program are displayed to the right of the program name.
