The Description area shows details about any system member selected in the Tree area. The following items of information are shown:
The name of the selected member. This is either the filename (if the member is a file of source code) or the system name (if the member is a subsystem).
The directory pathname of the selected member. This is the full pathname of the file, if the selected member is a file of source code, or the default directory of the system, if the selected member is a subsystem.
This lists any keyword flags which have been set for the selected member in the system definition, such as the
:source-only
flag.
To operate on any of the items displayed in this area, select them and choose a command from the Works > Description menu, which contains the standard actions described in Performing operations on selected objects. By making multiple selections, you can operate on as many of the items as you like.
