		The ProgramThis is the main program as you will see it. In this case it has two copies of the same script open, in two 
		different view modes.
 
		
		Main MenuAt the top is the main menu. Click one one of these items to have it display the menu choices under it. You 
		can also select one of these menus by pressing ALT plus the underlined letter in the menu word. Note: there will 
		be fewer menu choices when you have no scripts open.
 
		
		ToolbarsBelow the menu are the toolbar buttons. Click one one of these to operate it. All of these buttons are short-cuts 
		to commands that exist in the menus. Some toolbar buttons will be depressed if the position in the script that the 
		caret is at is in the mode that that button provides. If you move the cursor over a button and hold it there, a 
		tooltip will pop-up telling you what that button does.
 
		
		Regular ViewIn the large window is a script you can edit. This script is in regular view mode and is the active script 
		(the one that will be edited when you type letters and commands).
 
		
		Outline ViewTo the left is a second copy of the same script, in outline view mode.
 
		
		Status BarAt the bottom is the status bar. The left-most part shows you a quick help message when the cursor is over a 
		menu item or toolbar button. Next to the help text you will see the word Scene. This is the paragraph type. 
		The next 5 blocks of text show the position of the caret in the script. The final 3 blocks of text show the 
		status of your INS (INSert/OVeRwrite), CAPs lock, and NUM lock keys.
