- Copy Project
- Copies a project. A dialog box is displayed. The names of the source and
the target project used by the copy command should be entered with or without
the postfix .project . An option specifies whether or not all its
objects are copied. Be careful, if you do not copy all its objects two
projects are using the same files!

the target project used by the rename command should be entered with or
without the postfix .project . An option specifies whether or not all
its objects are renamed. Be careful, if you do not rename all its objects the
project is using the files with different names!
- Delete Project
- Deletes a project. A dialog box is displayed. The name of the project
should be entered with or without the postfix .project . An option
specifies whether or not all its objects are deleted. Be careful, if you do

Help Menu
The item on the Help Menu is About.

- Shows the about box for the whole PEP tool.
Project Menu
The item on the Project Menu is Project List.
- Project List
- Displays a list of all opened projects. A double-click on one of
them brings its project window to the foreground.
Options Menu
Although these options are available we do not encourage you to use them. They
are only interesting for the developper of the PEP tool.
The items on the Options Menu are: Display Debug, File
Debug, Show Globals, Show Open Projects, and Show Com.
- Display Debug
- If this option is selected then some interesting debugging
information (e.g., all calls to the algorithms invoked by the PEP tool, their
results, etc.) is written to the shell during the run of the PEP tool. Usually you can iconify the shell during your work with the PEP tool
because it is not needed.
- File Debug
- If this option is selected the debugging information is continuously
written to a file calls "peptool.deb".
- Show Globals
- Writes Tcl/Tk information to the shell. This information is only
interesting for Tcl/Tk programmers.
- Show Open Project
- Writes information about all opened projects to the shell.
- Show Com
- Displays some information about the communications within the PEP tool in
a dialog box. This is only interesting if the communication
between the different parts of the tool does not work correctly.
