Mystery dialog box

I pressed the keystrokes to get my Layer Control box, then the attached dialog popped up, which I've never seen before. Anyone know what this is for?

Obviously you are not familiar with GDL scripting
When the current window is a text window (usually a GDL text, but also lists, library report and others) the usual EDIT menu is replaced by the EDIT (TEXT) menu, with different commands. The Ctrl+L shortcut here is for "Go to Line" (of the script).
If you got that from a graphic window, so you maybe found a passage in the ArchiCAD space-time continuum.

Thanks, Roberto. I try to stay as far away from GDL scripting as I can, so I've never seen this before. 🙂

I was in the 3D window and pressed CTRL+L (my shortcut for Layers) and this message popped up. So I guess I caught a glimpse of the Graphisoft worm-hole.
