The Source Code Views

PyScripter provides different views of Python modules that can be seen alongside the source code.  Currently two such views are provided.  The Documentation view and the Disassembly view.  When views other than the source code are available you can switch between the source code and these views using the tabs at the top of the editing area. You can close additional views by right clicking on their tab and selecting "Close".  When the only view is the source code the tabs at the top of the editing area are hidden.
