Objects and actions

Objects and Actions

An object is a piece of text such as a variable, a function, a condition or a subroutine label. The object may be evaluated or action with the function being performed depending on the object type.

Selecting an Object

Objects are selected in one of three ways:

Moving the cursor to the object and pressing F5.
Left double-clicking with the mouse on the object in the program.
Moving the cursor and then using the menu option Search->Select Object

Using a simple algorithm, the variable, function, condition, subroutine label or number under the cursor or mouse pointer is selected, i.e. displayed in reverse video.

Action an Object

The action performed depends on the object:

Object	Action
Integer	List code from that line-number
Integer, Integer	Move cursor to specific line and statement
Variable	Performs a LIST DIM output for the variable
Function	Evaluates the function and displays the result
Condition	Evaluates the condition as TRUE or FALSE.
Subroutine Label	Performs a LIST FROM 'label
Expression in Brackets	Evaluates the expression and displays the result
