Navigating the Story Panel
Various keystroke combinations are available for navigating within the Story panel.
Story Text The Story Text sub-panel contains the text or script of the story and is
the only part that is always displayed as part of the Story panel. This
area is blank when you create a new story. As you type, the text
automatically wraps to the next line and scrolls down to keep the
current line visible on the screen.
Instruction The Instruction sub-panel contains production cues or machine
control data for still store, video, and character generator devices.
These instructions appear for scripted stories only.
