When you are entering commands, remember that PlanetPress Talk is case-insensitive.
To enter commands:
• In the Code area, click and type the command. When you type commands, you may find the command
name completion feature useful.
The exact insertion point depends on the type of command. If the command is a function, the Editor
inserts it at the exact point indicated by the click in the Code area. If the command is a procedure, and
the point indicated by the click in the Code area is anywhere except the first character of the line, the
Editor inserts it after the line on which you clicked; if you clicked on the first character of a line, it inserts
it before that line.
To enter arguments:
• Use any of the following.
• Argument: You can enter any argument by typing it.
• Data selection: To enter a data selection as an argument using the Data Selector, right-click in the
Code area at the point at which you want to enter the data selection argument, and choose Data
Selection.
• Color specification: To enter a color specification as an argument using the Color Picker, right-click in
the Code area at the point at which you want to enter the color specification, and choose Color.
• Style: To enter a style as an argument, right-click in the Code area at the point at which you want to
enter the style, choose Style, and then choose the style you want to reference.
• Image resource: To enter an image resource as an argument, right-click in the Code area at the point
at which you want to enter the argument, choose Image Resource, and then choose the image
resource you want to reference.
• Condition: To enter a condition as an argument, right-click in the Code area at the point at which you
want to enter the condition, choose Global Condition, and then choose the condition you want to
reference.
• System variable (from the Commands area): To enter a system variable as an argument using the
Commands area, click in the code at the point at which you want to enter the system variable. Then,
locate the variable in the Commands area (either in the All in alphabetical order group or the Other
group), and double-click it as you would to enter a command.
