Switch To Left Or Right Side
This will switch left and right between the two programs, to make the active program inactive and the inactive
program active. If there is no inactive program, then nothing happens. There are only two possible displays: one
on the left and one on the right. The inactive display is used when a second program is selected or created.
THE EDIT MENU
Undo
The last insert, delete, or alter (simple edit) operation will be undone. Pressing UNDO again will restore the
previous editing operation, up to the last 9 editing operations. If a block has been selected, choosing this item
will simply exit block select mode without undoing anything.
Select Text
This item will set the start point of the block selection. To set the end point, scroll up or down to the desired
place, and press the F2 or ENTER key. The selected block will then be highlighted. To deselect the block,
press UNDO. This function works the same as in the 40 column editor, except this menu option is used to start
selecting text, instead of the F1 key. Either the ENTER or F2 key can be used to end the selection. The
following prompt will appear when this item is selected:
SCROLL UP/DOWN, PRESS ENTER OR F2 (to complete the text selection)
Move Selected Text
All selected text will be moved to the line following the cursor arrow position.
Copy Selected Text
All selected text will be copied to the line following the cursor arrow position.
Delete Selected Text
This item deletes any selected block. If no block is selected, the currently highlighted item is deleted. The UNDO
key will restore any deleted comment or individual commands, but will not restore any blocks of code that were
deleted. The DELETE key deletes individual characters from comments and is the hot key for this menu item.
Cut Selection To Clipboard
All selected text will be moved from the current program to a new program called the clipboard. Any previous
contents of the clipboard are deleted. The program number (8998) for the clipboard is specified by Parameter
226 and can be altered, if necessary.

PERATIONS
Block operations can be performed on a group of one or more blocks of the program. These operations include
BLOCK DUPLICATE, BLOCK MOVE, and BLOCK DELETE. Prior to a block being defined, the bottom right of
the screen shows how to define a block; the F1 key is pressed when the cursor is on the first line of the block
and the F2 key is pressed when the cursor is on the last line of the block.
Once a block is defined, the lower right of the screen shows how to manipulate the block; the INSERT key is
used to duplicate the defined block wherever the cursor is positioned, the DELETE key is used to delete the
block, the ALTER key is used to move the block, and the UNDO key cancels the block definition.
When a block is defined, the cursor is indicated by the “ > ” symbol and is always at the beginning of a line.
When a block is copied or moved, the lines are added after the block with the cursor. Only whole command
lines may be moved with the block functions.
