Editing The Main Goal

  
Figure: A Proof Window on a New Proof

When a new proof window is opened, the window appears as in Figure gif. By using SELECT with the cursor over <main proof goal> a term window is opened up to allow one to enter the main goal of the proof.

One can also use SELECTSELECT on the main goals of incomplete or complete proofs. For example, one might want to copy the main goal of one theorem and use it as the basis for the main goal of another, or one might want to correct a mis-stated main goal. Note however that if a main goal is destructively modified and checked  , then any existing proof is lost. As explained in Section gif, the window is checked whenever the EXITEXIT term window command is used. If the window is not modified but checked, or modified and then quitted, then any existing proof will not be changed. Warning: a window counts as being modified even if changes have been made and then undone, so it looks the same as it originally was.
