Drag an instruction from the library into the SCL program. The editor shows the
complete call template.
Now fill in the required parameter and finish the entry with the "Return" button.
The editor automatically reduces the call template.
If you want to edit the complete call later on again, proceed as follows.
Click into the call at any place and then click "CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE". You are
now in the Call Template mode. The editor expands the call again. You can
navigate with the "TAB" button through the parameters.
Note: In the "Call Template" mode the writing is in italics.
