The figure above shows the window layout in Multiple Window Mode with a Command Editor foremost. The buttons ‘Run’ and ‘Stop’ control batch execution by executing the entire command file. Pressing the ‘Run’ button closes all non-project plots and clears all output in the associated output window. If there is no output window associated with an input window, a new one is created. More than one command file may be opened or created in SHAZAM, separate output windows for each are created the first time they are executed.

The ‘Talk’ button ( ) may be toggled on or off. In the on state (button appears depressed), pressing enter executes the line the cursor is on and moves the cursor to the next line. Once the last line has been reached pressing enter creates a new line. Subsequent lines typed (or added with the wizard) are executed as the enter key is pressed.

The next 3 buttons on the toolbar in Figure 2 ( ) are for stepping through the command file. Pressing the first button steps line by line, the second button steps to the current cursor position and the third button steps over (without executing) the commands between the current line and the line the cursor is on.

SHAZAM Professional Edition uses a message bar that displays all errors and warnings to users at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on an error or warning messages jumps to the line in the output file containing the error or warning message.
