A short example dialogue for the construction of an XOR network might clarify the use of the editor. First the four units are created. In the info panel the target name ``input'' and the Target bias ``0'' is entered.

of the Target unit here.
repeat for position (5,5).

Now the topology is defined. The only actions remaining are to set the IO types and the four patterns. To set the IO types, one can either use the command Units Set Default io-type, which sets the types according to the topological position of the units, or repeatedly use the command Units Set io-Type. The second option can be aborted by pressing the Done button in the popup window before making a selection.
