The OSLO text editor is used primarily to prepare SCP and CCL macro programs. It is a general purpose editor that is suitable for a variety of other small jobs, such as directly modifying lens files.

The text editor contains its own File menu for opening files. Note that if a lens file is opened using the File menu in the editor, it will be brought into the editor as a text file, while if it is opened from the File menu in the main window, it will be opened as binary data in memory to be used by the program.

A unique feature of the OSLO text editor is its ability to execute selected text as a series of commands. In the above window, four commands have been entered and selected in the edit window. By pressing CTRL+E, you can execute these commands. Note that the last command has been entered with a question mark, which means that you will be prompted for its arguments.
