Although you can use any text editor to create Server Event Scripts, the Robo-EDIT text editor is specifically designed for editing Robo-FTP syntax. Robo-EDIT helps you minimize typographical errors and provides for the easiest possible creation and maintenance of Server Event Scripts. Major features include:
| Ø | Context sensitive help for all Robo-FTP script commands |
| Ø | Color syntax highlighting of Robo-FTP script commands |
| Ø | Automatically capitalize Robo-FTP script commands as you type |
| Ø | Edit multiple script files and save (and reload) all at once as a “session” |
| Ø | Find in files function that automatically searches script files (files with .s extension) |
| Ø | Optional tabbed interface when editing multiple files |
