The String Editor
The String Editor is used to name or rename test cards, tests and templates as
well as to fill out the Comment card.
Every time such an operation becomes necessary, the String Editor starts
automatically.
The number of available characters to choose from depends on the String
Editor ’s use. If, for example, a user-defined comment is to be entered in the
Comment card, the number of available characters is bigger as if a test is to be
renamed. This difference are special characters such as !, ?, _, [ ], etc.
Important special characters:
↵
carriage return (line feed)
tab (special function in Form Editor mode; refer to page 8-34).
