Line editing menu
(Figure 4) - Lines are edited by essentially the same procedures that the rules are, but the long line of 320 cells is broken down into 8 lines 40 cells, to make movement across the line using the up and down arrows more rapid. , which corresponds to one of the simplest automata for which rules may be designed to order, has many additional line editing options, all experimental, which can be used to facilitate the design. No doubt more will be added before the existence of all of them is officially announced.
