== Module 1. SELES LS Editor ==

Before doing these tutorials, you'll need to download the latest version of SELES from Andrew's website. Visit the [[SELES Executables|SELES Executables]] page for more info.

Double click on 'LSEditor.exe' to start the Editor.

Once the Editor is up and running, you'll notice you have pull-down menus under the headings File, Edit, View, Window, Help and Parse. Most of these options will be recognisable to anyone familiar with the Windows operating systems desktop. In this module, we make a few notes of some options unique to the Editor.

1. The <b>File</b> Menu

The File Menu is all pretty standard. "Save Parse" is different: it 
checks the syntax of your file and, if it parses cleanly, saves it.

2. The <b>Edit</b> Menu

The Edit Menu has some fun stuff. At the bottom of the menu, you will 
find links to additional menus.

Using these menus, you can rapidly build SELES models from lists of Properties, 
Expressions and Variables. This material is not very useful for people doing the 
SELES 100 Tutorial, but will be useful when you become more comfortable coding SELES 
models and landscape events.

The Editing sub-menus look like the following:<br>

3. The <b>Window</b> Menu

Lets you quickly rearrange the files open on your 
desktop. Or you can select from window to have open. Tiling is often a useful
arrangement.
