The interactive mode is the place where you can type in a script and execute it. Here you have a command prompt as in
a terminal. This mode actually working as a command window, but beyond that it has syntax highlighting and command
history. The results of the executed script is showed after the script you typed and then you get back the command prompt
and you can type the next script.
Here, as the name also indicate, you can edit a script or type and execute it from here. You also have syntax highlight here
as in interactive mode. This mode is almost like the interactive mode, but here you haven't command prompt and no results
showed here.
You have two possibilities to write a script. The first way is to simply type it in interactive mode and then hit the Enter
to execute it. The second way is the source editor mode. Here you can also write the script, but there the executing is
working else. To execute only a part from the script just select this part then right click with the mouse and select from
popup menu the Run selected item. You also can run the edited script by clicking on the run button from the toolbar.
There is another thing which is important: the mode is always changing to that mode which is getting used, for example
you type in a command into the source editor mode and select the Run item from popup menu, the mode will be changed
to interactive mode and the results will be displayed here. In the same way when you type a command into the interactive
mode and execute it, the command which was executed will be copied to the source editor pane.
You also can run a script if you know the path to it. In this case enter the path into the navigation box from navigation bar
and hit Enter to load the script. This way the script will be executed and the script source will be put in the source editor pane.
