keyboard focus to the comment editor.
The comment editor will stay up until explicitly closed; you can freely switch between
editing steps and their comments. The comment editor will display the comment for the
step currently selected in the Event Steps editor. Changes made to comments take place
immediately; therefore, you do not need to close the comment editor or move to another
step to finalize changes before saving the file.
The comment editor responds to the following commands:
• Click Restore or press ALT+R to reset the comment for the current step back to its
state when this step was first selected. This can also be viewed as an undo.
• Click Clear or press ALT+C to erase the entire comment for the current step.
• Press CTRL+F or CTRL+G to jump to another step in the event step table without
changing the keyboard focus back to the main window. See the Jumping to an
Event Step section above for details on the differences of these commands.
• Press CTRL+N to switch keyboard focus back to the Event Steps editor.
• Press ALT+F4 or click the Close button to close the comment editor.

be on a floppy or on the hard drive.
8. The version number will be displayed. Verify that this firmware date is newer than
the current firmware you are using. If so, click Yes, otherwise click No to select
