Hmm, so the manual page for each editor is vague because all
of it's functions are provided by basic principles that have been
established earlier in the manual.  That's reasonable.

Although someone like me that starts Constructor up and uses
it and then goes to the manual for help with specific problems
won't find this (BTW, the help files don't show page numbers
but I found what you referred to in a section titled "User Interface
Features").  Perhaps a hot-link to this section could be added at
the end of the screen for each editor window so that people who
drop into the middle of the help file get pointed to the critical
facts relating to using the editor windows.
