The Title bar displays the name of your part file, in this case CALIPER.fm, and the type of part setup in round brackets, in this case (Milling). When you have any unsaved changes in your part file, an asterisk (*) is displayed next to its name.

Right-clicking displays a context menu. The menu varies depending on where you are in the program. The menu contains common commands and functions that are useful in that area.
