The BASIC Stamp Windows Editor was designed to be easy to use and mostly intuitive. Those who are familiar 
with standard Windows software should feel comfortable using the BASIC Stamp Windows Editor (Figure 9). 
 
The editor consists of one main editor window that can be used to view and modify up to 16 different source code 
files at once. Each source code file that is loaded into the editor will have its own tab at the top of the page 
labeled with the name of the file. Source code that has never been saved to disk will default to “Untitled#”; where 
# is an automatically generated number. A user can switch between source code files by simply pointing and 
clicking on a file’s tab. File | Save allows the naming and saving of a file. 
 
After entering the desired source code in the editor window, selecting Run -> Run (or pressing Ctrl-R) will 
tokenize and download the code to the BASIC Stamp (assuming the code is correct and the BASIC Stamp is 
properly connected).
