Thanks! That helps a lot. I was actually expecting that the CasEditor would let me edit the text of the documents and then specify annotations with a context menu (or something like that) so it never occurred to me to try pressing <enter> to create an annotation. For what it's worth, if I run eclipse with nothing but the runtime jar in the dropins folder, I don't get a lot of the views (perhaps *none* of the views?) for the Cas Editor. --Rogan > -Marshall >> >>> I have also been unable to find a way to add annotations to a >>> document, or create a new xcas file.
