Operators-Window

The Operators-Window opens after pressing the "Add"-button of the
Processor-Window and allows you to select an operator which will be
appended to your Processor-script.
Another purpose is to add PlugIns to the internal database
or to remove them.
All operations can be done both using the mouse and the keyboard.
Use the cursor-keys to browse through the lists and the <enter>-key
to apply the selection.

Functions:

Add             to load one or more PlugIns from harddisk
Delete          to delete the selected PlugIn
Select          to append the selected operator to the Processor-script
Cancel          to cancel the selection

There are five basic types of Operator-PlugIns according to their
purpose:
