Š
Spherical icons for each tuple that exists in this class. Left-clicking on a tuple
opens a small window that displays its contents. For example:
("globals" 1000 225)
If a tuple contains a large amount of data, scroll bars will appear, and you can
scroll through it, viewing one part of it at a time. You can also scroll with the
keyboard arrow keys:

If the tuple contains an aggregate, by default the aggregates’s contents is not
shown; instead, the word BLOCK appears. The Modes and Aggregates menus
control the display of aggregates (see Viewing Aggregates below).
Clicking on an individual tuple window with the right mouse button will refresh
its contents; clicking on it with the left mouse button will close it.
