IDE Context Menu

Undo

Reverse the most recent edit change from the undo stack.  Each successive Undo operation removes the most recent change from the undo stack and reverses the editing in the document.  Undo operations can be performed until the undo stack is depleted; however, the undo stack is cleared when a Save or Compile operation is performed.

Toggle Breakpoint

Help

Launch context-sensitive help.  If the context menu point is on a PowerBASIC keyword, the appropriate topic is displayed in the PowerBASIC help file.  If the context point is not a recognized keyword, the WIN32.HLP file is launched instead.  This feature is useful for context-sensitive help on both reserved keywords, and API functions and data structures, etc.

Open Include File

Open the file indicated in the #INCLUDE metastatement at the context menu point.  The item is only enabled when the context menu point is targeting an #INCLUDE metastatement.  Open File works even if the #INCLUDE metastatement is commented out.

Close File

Closes the current document.
