For information on using the Visual Basic Editor, refer to the online help in the Visual Basic Editor.
When you create Macro scripts, the Visual Basic Editor uses a numbering sequence that starts at 0. If you specify a number of 1 in the Visual Basic Editor, it indicates the second item in a sequence, not the first. For example, if you create a script to sort the Peak List in the Output window, and you want to sort by Area (column 8 in the Peak List), specify sorting on column 7 in the script.
