Remove Wires
This command deletes all of the port’s wires.
Rename Ports
Enter a new name for the port in the dialog that opens. Meaningful names can help to make the
expression easier to understand, especially if you are editing an expression you created some time
ago and you’ve forgotten how it works.
Delete Port
The port and its wires are deleted. You can also delete a disconnected port by double-clicking it.
The XPresso Manager
The XPresso manager provides a simplied overview of an expression as a hierarchical list of nodes
and XGroups. In addition to providing this clear overview, the XPresso manager is useful for quickly
selecting elements, changing their order and rearranging the hierarchy. Nodes that belong to an
XGroup are listed below their parent XGroup and are indented.
To open the XPresso manager:
 The XPresso manager is integrated into the XPresso Editor by default. However,
should you undock and close the manager, you can reopen it by choosing
Custom > XPresso Manager in the XPresso Editor.
To move a node into an XGroup:
 Drag the node name and drop it onto the XGroup name.
To move a node into view in the XPresso Editor:
 Drag the name of the node from the XPresso manager and drop it onto the
desired position in the XPresso Editor.
