At the top of the script document window is a pair of tabs, "Visual" and "Text". Most everything we discuss in this Guide takes place on the Visual tab.

 

By going to the Text tab, you can see the entire script definition in the form of plain text. In this form you can simply print out the file to serve as permanent documentation for what a database contains. Also, lines and details can be copied or moved in big chunks: this takes full advantage of cut and paste and other word processing abilities. The Text and Visual displays are kept in sync: as a change is made to either side, the other side is also revised accordingly.

 

But be careful! It can be very tricky to edit the contents of the Text form of the script, and this is to be done only by very experienced users. In general, we recommend that you only use the Visual tab to build scripts and construct databases.
