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.
