DO-IT   Database window: Menu File – New – Text (Ctrl-Alt-N)

Starts the database text editor with a new database text. You can also load an exisiting text and edit it.

 

DO-IT   Database text editor: Editor Mode (Ctrl-W)

After writing a text you can switch it to browser mode in which the text can only be read, not edited. In this mode links and embedded events are activated with a single mouse click (as in a web browser). In edit mode they require a double-click. Switch back to Editor mode if you want to make changes.
