Editing TCL Commands

The TCL editor uses the Update Processor to enter commands, so the TCL editor commands are similar to the Update Processor commands. A TCL command may be created and edited as if it were a paragraph. Pressing CTRL+M or Enter within the TCL command processes the entry.

The TCL editor is initially in the overtype mode. To toggle between overtype and insert mode, press CTRL+R. The following commands function the same in the TCL editor as they do in the Update Processor.
