4.3.5 Program editor

4-148
You use the program editor when you want to change the sequence of
program blocks within a program, delete program blocks or copy
program blocks from one program to another.
The following functions are available in the program editor:

Select
You can select several program blocks simultaneously, for
example, for cutting and pasting them subsequently.

Copy/paste
You can copy and paste program blocks within a program or
between different programs.

Cut
You can cut and therefore delete program blocks. However, the
program blocks remain in the buffer, so you can still paste them in
somewhere else.

Search
You can search for a specific block number or any character string
in a program.

Rename
You can rename a contour in the program editor, e.g. if you have
copied the contour.

Numbering
When you insert a new or copied program block between two
existing program blocks, ShopTurn automatically assigns a new
block number. This block number may be higher than the one in
the following block. With the "Numbering" function, you can
renumber the program blocks in ascending order.
