A window is a section of your screen that displays the contents of a
buffer.
LSE allows you to create two text windows, each mapped to a different
buffer. By splitting the screen into two windows, you can view any
two buffers simultaneously.
The status line is highlighted and provides information about the
associated buffer. The status line tells you the name of the buffer,
whether you are in insert or overstrike mode, whether the buffer is
in a forward or reverse direction, and whether the buffer is a write
or read-only buffer.
The message area is located at the bottom and displays broadcast
messages and messages issued by LSE and SCA.
The prompt area overlays the top line of the message window with the
LSE> or LSE Command> prompts, which prompt for commands or required
parameters for commands. LSE commands can be used to manipulate the
screen and its format.
The following describes a common use of some of the commands and
default key bindings used to manipulate screens. If, for example,
you are editing a file called MODULES.AS, you can issue the following
commands to move a procedure from the MODULE2.AS file to the current
file.
1. Press the CHANGE WINDOW_MODE key (PF1-=).
This command will split the screen into two windows. Both
windows will contain the current buffer. The cursor will be
placed in the bottom window.
2. Issue the command: GOTO FILE MODULE2.PAS.
This command will put the contents of the file, MODULE2.AS, into
the bottom window. Now that the two files are displayed on the
screen, you can locate both the procedure you want to select and
the location in the current file where you want the procedure
placed.
3. Move to the desired procedure and press the SELECT (Keypad
Period) key. Use the arrow keys to select the entire procedure
and press the CUT (Keypad 6) key to capture the procedure.
4. Press the PREVIOUS WINDOW key (PF1-(UPARROW)) to place the cursor
in file MODULE1.PAS.
5. Press the PASTE key (PF1-KP6) at the location where the procedure
should be placed.
6. Press the CHANGE WINDOW_MODE key (PF1-=) to return the screen to
one window containing the current buffer.
The commands for manipulating buffers, along with the default key
bindings, are listed under subtopic "Screen_Commands".
