Select an item in the symbols list to display information about the symbol in the Description and Documentation areas, or to perform an operation on it. You may select multiple symbols, but in this case only the description and documentation for the first selected symbol is displayed.

You can transfer the selected symbol or symbols to other tools, for example by Works > Symbol > Listen or Works > Symbol > Inspect .

To unintern the selected symbol or symbols, choose Works > Symbol > Unintern... .
