The Visual LISP integrated development environment allows you to create new or edit existing program files in the text editor.
When creating a new file, an empty editor window appears on screen. As you enter text, the text editor does not wrap the text when it reaches the end of the right edge of the text editor window.
While entering text, you can indent lines of text manually or allow Visual LISP to automatically format new lines of text as you enter them. Lines of text in an existing file can be formatted using the Visual LISP code formatting features. Once you are done adding or editing text, the text can be saved to a file on a local or network drive. When saving a file for the first time, you must specify a file type. The selected file type determines the extension of the file.
