Figure 1.2: HEW Main Window
There are three main windows; the workspace window, the editor window and the output window. The
workspace window shows the projects and files which are currently in the workspace, the editor window
provides file viewing and editing facilities and the output window shows the results of a various processes (e.g.
build, version control commands and so on).

The Title Bar
The title bar displays the name of the currently open workspace, project and file. It also contains the standard
minimize, maximize and close buttons. Click the minimize button to minimize the HEW on the windows start
bar. Click the maximize button to force HEW to fill the screen. Click the close button to close the HEW (this has
the same effect as selecting [File->Exit] or pressing ALT+F4).
1.2.2
The Menu Bar
The menu bar contains nine menus: File, Edit, View, Project, Options, Build, Tools, Window and Help. All of
the menu options are grouped logically under these headings. For instance, if you wanted to open a file then the
file menu is where you will find the right menu option, if you wanted to set-up a tool then the tools menu is the
correct selection. The following sections will cover the functions of the various menu options, as they become
relevant. However, at this stage, it is worth taking a few moments to familiarize yourself with the options that
each menu provides.
