The functions in menu and toolbar are the following:

1. Run Vitesse script from file browser.

2. Edit the recent Vitesse script selected in the combo-box.

3. Re-run the recent Vitesse script selected in the combo-box.

4. Combo-box containing the latest run scripts, script name is automatically added when script is run from file browser. Select and click on script to bring it to the top of list, and then either use edit button or re-run button for this script. To delete a script from the list, press the Delete key while pointing the mouse to one of the script names in the list. If two or more scripts having the same name have been run from different directories, they will be suffixed by (1), (2) and so on. Let the mouse hover over the script name to display a tooltip containing the full file path of the script.

5. Activate debugger. This runs a script having a predefined name that can invoke a debugger. A debugger capable of being used together with Vitesse must support an Embedded Python Interpreter. An example of a debugger that works together with the system and that can be connected to this button is Wing that can be downloaded from this website: archaeopteryx.com.
