Notes The status bar displays useful information. Its leftmost text field, for instance, describes the currently selected menu command or the action of the button currently under the mouse pointer.
The status bar also displays progress information about the current operation. For a text editor window, it shows the line and column position of the insertion point, the state of the RECORD KEYSTROKES AND COLUMN MODE, whether the editor is in insertion mode or overstrike mode, and whether the file is set for read-only access. The clock can also be displayed on the status bar as described below.
