3.4.2 Editor Screen
FIGURE 3.4.2.1. The Editor Screen
The Program:Editor screen displays the program name, along with 22 lines of editable program
text. This text area supports cut, paste, copy, search and replace. If the program shown is currently
executing, it can only be edited while stopped in single block mode. Otherwise, the text area
becomes non-editable and only searching is permitted. The “Program Running” warning is shown
if an attempt is made to edit a running program when it cannot be edited. It is always possible to
edit non-executing programs if they are writable. Read-only programs residing on the hard disk
are automatically changed to be writable when loaded into the editor. However, read-only pro-
grams on network drives or floppy disks will remain read-only when loaded into the editor.
If the Program:Editor screen is entered from the Run:Production screen, the cursor position is
set to the last run point. If switching between buffers on the edit screen, the last cursor edit posi-
tion is remembered.
