The window in the middle of the view allows selection from a list of Program Flow and Motion instructions. To insert an instruction into the programming window, you can use the “drag-and-drop” method also used in making assignments. Simply position your mouse pointer over the instruction you wish to use, click the left mouse button and hold it down. While holding the button down, move your pointer into the programming window, and release the mouse button.
