Insertion point
Marks where text appears when you start typing.
Procedure area
The visible part of the current buffer where you type and edit your Progress procedures.
Current buffer name
The name of the procedure file you are currently editing. If the buffer has no name assigned, it appears as “Untitled” and is followed by a number to make it unique.
Command keys
