Auxiliary Windows

This section describes several auxiliary windows that appear from multiple places within PADE.

• File Browser -- used to select a file. A list of files in your home directory or the directory specified by Set Preferences is presented. Double-clicking on a file name selects that file. You can change to another directory by typing in a new directory name and clicking on Rescan, and create a new file by typing in a new file name.

• PADE Edit File window -- accesses a file for editing. The file name can be entered in the text part of the window; usually a default file is provided by the parent window. There is a button to bring up the file browser to select a different file. There is a button to launch the user specified editor command.

• PADE List window -- a scrollable/savable window used for listing files or output. The contents can be saved to a file by clicking on the Save button, or discarded by clicking on Close.

• Text entry boxes -- many windows have a section for entering text. In most cases text can be pasted in from other non-PADE windows. Mark text in the other window by dragging the left mouse button over it. Paste it in the text entry box by clicking on the middle mouse button.

• Data entry windows -- the pop-up windows for entering the PADE data under the Setup and Graph buttons contain an Apply button at the bottom. This must be pressed to apply the changes to the PADE data. When entering file names, the ``*'' character can be used as a wildcard.
