Editor vs Console

 

Edit Screen and Console/Program Output Screen

The Edit screen provides the menus, toolbar, and status bar for program development. The Console displays the output of your running program.
 

Status Bar

The status bar is located at the bottom of the application window and provides information about the keyboard status and current state of HTBasic. You can hide or show the Status Bar by it's check box in the View menu.
 
Editor vs Console Screens
 
The status bar includes two areas: message area and status indicators.
 
The message area at the left side of the status bar displays the name of the control toolbar icon when it is highlighted by the mouse (Run Program icon in Figure 3-5). It also displays the Tooltip when hovering over a toolbar button or a menu item.
 
The status indicators display the operating state of several keyboard keys including capslock, num lock, insert mode, or scroll lock.  The status indicator also provides the current program state indicating whether the HTBasic program is running, paused, stopped, idle, or waiting for input.
