  File Menu

    Import Text -- Insert the contents of a selected text file at the
    insertion point.

    Export Text -- Write the contents of the workspace to a text file.

    The Import and Export Text functions allow saving to files on remote
    hosts using FTP, if the Perl Net::FTP module is installed. Please refer
    to the file INSTALL in the distribution archive and the
    Tk::RemoteFileSelect manual page.

    System Command -- Prompts for the name of a command to be executed by
    the shell, /bin/sh. The output is inserted into the workspace.

    For example, to insert a manual page into the workspace, enter:

       man <programname> | colcrt - | col -b

    Shell -- Starts an interactive shell. The prompt is the PS1 prompt of
    the environment where the workspace was started. At present the
    workspace shell recognizes only a subset of the bash prompt variables,
    and does not implement command history or setting of environment
    variables in the subshell.

    Due to I/O blocking, results can be unpredictable, especially if the
    called program causes an eof condition on STDERR. For details refer to
    the Tk::Shell POD documentation.

    Refer to the bash(1) manual page for further information.

    Typing 'exit' leaves the shell and returns the workspace to normal text
    editing mode.

    Filter -- Specify a filter and output destination for the text in the
    Workspace. A ``filter'' is defined as a program that takes its input
    from standard input, STDIN, and sends its output to standard output,
    STDOUT. By default, output is inserted into the Workspace at the cursor
    position. Other destinations are:

      - File--Write output to the file name specified.
      - Terminal--Write output to the Workspace's STDOUT or to a
        character device specified as the output file.
      - New Workspace--Write output to a new Workspace with the
        name specified.

    If the Perl Net::FTP module is installed, filter output can be sent to a
    remote host, using the pathname syntax, hostname:/filepathname .

    Save -- Save the workspace to disk.

    Quit -- Close the workspace window, optionally saving to disk.

    Workspaces are saved with file mode permissions 0700 (read, write, and
    execute for the owner of the file).

  Edit Menu

    Undo -- Reverse the next previous change to the text.

    Cut -- Delete the selected text and place it on the X clipboard.

    Copy -- Copy the selected text to the X clipboard.

    Paste -- Insert text from the X clipboard at the insertion point.

    Evaluate Selection -- Interpret the selected text as Perl code.

    Search & Replace -- Open a dialog box to enter search and/or replace
    strings. Users can select options for exact upper/lower case matching,
    regular expression searches, forward or backward searches, and no query
    on replace. If "Replace without Asking" is selected, then all search
    matches will be replaced. The default is to prompt before the
    replacement. Replacements for regular expression matches are not
    supported.

    Goto Line -- Go to the line entered by the user.

    Which Line -- Report the line and column position of the insertion
    point.

  Options Menu

    Wrap -- Select how the text should wrap at the right margin.

    Scroll Bars -- Select from scroll bars at right or left, top or bottom
    of the text area.

    Encoding -- Select the encoding to use when exporting text. Does not
    affect the Workspace text itself. When importing, the text is mapped
    into ISO-8859-1, regardless of encoding. This option is only available
    if the UTF16 libraries are installed on the system. If they aren't, then
    the Workspace uses the default ISO 8859-1 encoding. Refer to the file
    INSTALL in the distribution archive for information about the required
    libraries.

    Show/Hide Menubar -- Toggle whether the menubar is visible. A popup
    version of the menus is always available by pressing the right mouse
    button (Button 3) over the text area.

    Color Editor -- Pops up a Color Editor window. You can select the text
    attribute that you want to change from the Colors -> Color Attributes
    menu. If your system libraries have an rgb.txt file, a list of the
    available colors is displayed on the left-hand side of the window.
    Double-clicking on a color name, or selecting its color space parameters
    from the sliders in the middle of the ColorEditor, displays that color
    in the swatch on the right-hand side of the window. Pressing the
    Apply... button at the bottom of the Color Editor applies the color
    selection to the text. The most useful attributes for Workspace text are
    foreground, background, and insertBackground.

    Text Font -- Select text font from list of system fonts.

  Help Menu

    About -- Report name of workspace and modification time, and version of
    Workspace.pm library.

    Help -- Display the Workspace.pm POD documentation in a text window
    formatted by pod2text.
