The window is a re-sizable, scrolling text window, where your program reads and writes text. It saves up to 32K of your program's text.

With the commands from the Edit menu, you can cut and copy text from the SIOUX window and paste text from other applications into the SIOUX window. With the commands in the File menu, you can print or save the contents of the SIOUX window.

To stop your program at any time, press Command-Period or Control-C. The SIOUX application keeps running so you can edit or save the window's contents. If you want to exit when your program is done or avoid the dialog asking whether to save the window, see "Changing what happens on quit"

To quit out of the SIOUX application at any time, choose Quit from the File menu. If you haven't saved the contents of the window, the application displays a dialog asking you whether you want to save the contents of the window now. If you want to remove the status line, see "Showing the status line."
