a tab on the left side of the editor by default. See Workspaces and Projects for more information.
References
Docked as a tab on the bottom of the editor by default, the References tool window displays the list of
symbol references (uses) found the last time that you used the Go to Reference feature (Ctrl+/ or
push_ref command—see Symbol Navigation for more information). In addition to the menu item, you can
activate or toggle this window by using the activate_refs or toggle_refs commands. See References Tool
Window for more information.

Provides the capability to interactively create and test regular expressions. You can also access this
window by clicking Tools > Regex Evaluator. See The Regex Evaluator for more details.

searches, or when the option List all occurrences is selected on the Find and Replace Tool Window. See
Find and Replace for more information about searching and replacing.
Slick-C® Stack
Displays errors that occur within the editor. If errors occur during normal use, you can send this information
to Product Support as a reference (see Contacting Product Support). If an error occurs in one of your
macros, you can use this information to help debug it. Double-clicking on a line of code in this window will
open the file and go to the line in the file that contains the error.
