To start the Editor from the Debugger

When you start the Editor from the Debugger, MULTI creates temporary copies of source files so you can continue to debug your program while looking at the original source code. Changes that you make in the Editor affect the actual file, not the temporary file that the Debugger is using to show the original code. When you exit the Debugger, the temporary files are deleted.

To bring up the Editor on the Debugger's current source file, click the Edit button in the Debugger.

You can also start the Editor by entering commands in the Debugger Command Window. The following table summarizes which command to use to open a certain file:
