The text window uses commands that resemble traditional point-and-click text editors. You can scroll, select text, cut, copy, paste, and search. The last four operations are done with the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Find subcommands of the Text Edit command of the Edit menu.
If the text window is a text-only view of a cell, and if there are other layout views of the cell also on the screen, then you can make associations between the two. Just select the name of the network in the text window and use the Show Network subcommand of the Network command of the Tools menu.
The only nonstandard aspect of text editing windows is the way in which they are closed. If they appear in partitions of the Electric editing window, they have no close box. Instead, typing the ESC key deletes the window. Another method is to use the Delete command of the Windows menu.
Note that there is no "saving" of these windows since they are editing internal data structures. Therefore every change updates the information in Electric (but the library must be saved to truly preserve changes). Another way to save a text window is to use the Write Text Facet command of the Facets menu to save just the text. Use Read Text Facet to read a file into a text window.
