• Alt+2 moves the cursor to the editing window on the right.
• Alt+3 moves the cursor to the Help pull down menu if the Help tab is

The Edit Windows
YTerm provides the ability to add comments to the program. Any program
line beginning with a double slash (//) will be ignored as the program is sent
to the SMC. Comments can also be placed after a valid command or
commands, and once the (//) is found, the remainder of the line will not be
uploaded. This makes it possible to add as many comments as needed
without overloading the controller's memory with comments.
While holding the Control (Ctrl) key down and highlighting a user or
internal variable in the program window with the mouse, the tool tip reports
the current value in the controller. The variable can be an entire math
expression, and does not need to be in the program currently executing in the
controller. This allows a live calculation of a formula. Any phrase that can
be typed into the terminal window by preceding it with the MG command
can be updated with a tool tip in the programming window.
The Toolbar and the Pop-up menu provide program editing functions.

Note: The functions accessed through the Toolbar are for the active edit
window.
