ViewFunction
One function or the PROLOG is displayed in the lower text area at a time. View
Function switches to another function. If no argument is given, a window
containing PROLOG and an alphabetized list of functions is displayed. Select an item
from the list to display the function in the lower text area.
ViewPriorFunction
View PriorFunction is a quick way to display the previously displayed
function in the main text area, even when you don't remember its name. This command
is especially convenient when you need to toggle back and forth between two functions.
ViewNewFunction
View NewFunction displays a window to ask you to name the new function.
After you enter the name, a new function with a comment header and the first and
last function lines is created and displayed.
ViewDeleteFunction
View DeleteFunction displays an alphabetized list of functions. Select
the one you want to delete.
ViewRenameFunction
View RenameFunction displays a window to ask for the new name you want to
give to the currently displayed function. After you enter the new name, all
occurrences of the old function name in the program are changed to the new name.
Function names in comments are not changed.
ViewLoadFunction
View LoadFunction loads a function from disk and adds it to the program.
If the first line in the file is a function declaration line, that line is put in
the PROLOG.
ViewSaveFunction
View SaveFunction saves a function declaration and function code to the
specified disk file.
