4 The Editor

4.2 Basic principles

The FreeLisp editor is shown in the figure below. You can create an editor by choosing Works > Lisp > Editor from any FreeLisp window. Notice that when you create an editor in this way, it will not actually be editing a file. Figure 4.1 below shows an editor with a file open.

At the top of the window, there is a menu bar. You can access all the generic features discussed in Chapter 3, as well as a number of features specific to the editor, from the menu bar.
