   for you

   the IDE.

   Bjornke Von Gierke fo the technology)
   - edit most properties within the main display window and the others in
   type-specific editor stacks
   - Add, rename, delete custom property sets, and add, rename, delete,
   edit custom property values from within the main display.
   - Use third party editor stacks to edit specific properties (e.g Tactile
   Media's tmColor editor for all color properties), or specific custom
   controls (e.g. Zryip The Slug's Data Grid Helper)
   - Edit all datagrid properties, including column properties.  Add or
   delete columns with a mouse click, re-order them with drag and drop.

CHAINED BEHAVIORS

The tooltip for an object with behavior(s) includes the behavior id and the
number of lines in its script for each behavior in the chain.

A link icon for each behavior in an object's behavior chain will be
displayed.  If you have an object with three behaviors in its chain; you'll
see three link icons. To get to the script of the second one in the chain,
simply click the second icon.
