   This button allows to access the properties of the element. This
   environment is also activated pressing the Ctrl-Enter key directly on
   the element without accessing the definition frame.

   The properties are made up of a list of options, containing the name and
   value. The value of the options of an element directly influences the
   behaviour of the code generated.

   The property highlighted is modified by pressing Enter, Space Bar
   or double clicking with the mouse. A special property, common to all the
   elements existing in dBsee, is called Slot.

Slot

   The template is an attribute that can be associated to any entity that
   dBsee is able to produce. The slot is a particular property that
   allows the programmer to interact with the template, thus influencing the
   generator's behaviour in order to obtain differentiated code. During the
   generation, executing the template, the contents of the slot can be
   interrogated in order to vary the way the system generates the entity.

   In order to use the slot, it is sufficient to enter a value or a sequence
   of data, and then intervening in the template, activating the necessary
   control structures for processing the information entered.

Example:

     .* Investigating the contents of the slot
     .* toItem("slot") returns the value entered
     .if toItem("slot")="new"
        .* Run the new template
        .do new
     .else
        .* Anything else entered
        .do old
     .endif
