Using the Propeller Tool

displaying useful information at various stages of the development process.

in the currently active edit tab.

Panel two displays the modified status of the current edit tab: 1) blank, meaning not modified,
2) modified, or 3) read-only.
Panel three shows the current edit mode: 1) Insert (default), 2) Align, or 3) Overwrite. The
edit mode can be changed by pressing the Insert key. See the Edit Modes section beginning
on page 65 for more information about how the different edit modes work.
Panel four shows the compiled status of the current edit tab: 1) blank, meaning uncompiled,
or 2) compiled. This panel indicates whether or not the source code it represents is still in the
form it was in when it was last compiled. If the code has not been changed in any way since
the last compile operation, this panel will say “Compiled.”
Panel five displays context sensitive information about the current edit tab’s source code if
that code has not been changed since the last compile operation. Move the edit page’s caret
to

Panel six displays temporary messages about the most recent operation. This is the area of
the Status Bar where the error message, if any, from the last compile operation is displayed
until another message overwrites it. This area also indicates successful compilations, font
size changes and other status.
The entire Status Bar displays hints describing the function of each menu item on the menu
bar as well as various other items when you let the mouse pointer hover over those items.
