Optional Macintosh Editor
Select either the Xargon_server
or the Xneon_server items from the Workstations
Apple menu item;
Prompts to enter your user id and
password will appear twice, once for a window containing
the program editor, and once for the console window.
This editor is identical to the one used directly on the Indigo
workstations. On a Macintosh however, it is not possible to
cut and paste text between different editor windows, or to
print the contents easily.
Differences in Macintosh and Indigo keyboards
On the Indigo, the backspace key
will remove a character immediately to the left of the
cursor whilst the delete key
will delete to the right of the cursor. The four arrow
keys will move the cursor in the appropriate direction.
On the Macintosh, only the delete key is available, but
confusingly it occupies the same keyboard position as the
backspace key on the Indigo! To obtain a backspace effect
on the Mac, press the Ctrl and H keys simultaneously.
