The Editor pane, normally found on the right side of the editor window, lets
you view and edit the contents of a file. Controls, fields, and information
areas that appear in this pane are:
Pane minimize button |

title bar. Clicking the
button minimizes the width of the pane until only a 
restore button remains visible. The File Selector pane expands to take up
window space vacated by the minimized Editor pane. |
