In the right-hand segment of the application window, the properties of the currently selected Module
Tree entry are displayed. Depending on the type the entry belongs to, the properties may appear on up
to three 'index cards'. Paging through the cards is accomplished by clicking on the card tabs.
If multiple Module Tree entries are simultaneously selected, the Properties display will attempt to reflect
their common properties. This will only work if the entries are of the same type, otherwise the Properties
display will indicate that it's not possible.
There is a header at the top of the Properties display in which the entry type and the names of the
entries are stated.
