For text files, a text editor will be brought up allowing the user to modify the file as desired. Just type the desired text and select “Save” to commit the changes. Once changes have been made to the file, prior to saving, the name of the file will have an “*” next to it indicating it has yet to be saved.

Once changes have been saved, a thumbnail of the text file will appear in the main data window.
