The content area displays logging information about the assembly session and
consists of:
• Name of file being assembled
• Complete path and name of files processed (main assembly file and all
included files)
• List of error, warning, and information messages
• Size of code generated during the assembly session
If a filename is dragged and dropped into the content area, the file is either
loaded as a configuration file or is assembled. It is loaded as a configuration file
if the file has a .ini extension. If not, the file is assembled with the current option
settings. (See 2.4.8 Specifying the Input File.)

project configuration. Double click on a filename to open an editable file or
select a line that contains a filename and click the right mouse button to display
a menu that contains an Open ... entry (if file is editable).
