The Edit menu (sctextw)

Find (F5)

Use this option to search for an item by a text string. The Text to find window opens for the user to enter the text to be searched for. The item containing the next occurrence of the text is selected (this may be the current item) and the text highlighted.

Whenever this option is called, the previously entered string remains displayed as the default, enabling the user to move rapidly through all items containing the text.

If no item exists containing the search string, the message Specified text was not found is issued.

Next (F7)

Display the next item. No action is taken if the last item is currently selected. Equivalent to pressing the Next button.

Previous (F6)

Display the previous item. No action is taken if the first item is currently selected. Equivalent to pressing the Prev button.

Zero (F9)

This option blanks out the current item, removing the text, and setting the Number of Text Lines and Text Length to 0. If the item is to be reused these parameters must be adjusted to a positive integer. The item retains its number, so the numbering of other items is not affected.

Add

Create an empty item. The item is allocated the next number after the current item number. Unless the current item was the last item, subsequent lines will be renumbered. This will have ramifications if the file was already in use.

Empty items are created with the Number of Text Lines and Text Length set to 0. These parameters must be set to a positive integer before the new item text can be created.

The maximum possible number of items in a configurable text file is 999.

Delete

Delete an item. Subsequent items will be renumbered. This will have ramifications if the file was already in use. If only one item exists, it may not be deleted.
