Can someone explain the cryptic explanation in the manual (page 133) on how to write an editable hotspot?

HOTSPOT2 x,y [, unID[paraReference, flags][, displayParam]]

Can you change the color of the editable hotspot?

Thank you. It looks great and I will try to decipher the German... would there happen to be an English version?

If someone translate it.

I hoped to translate a page if someone asks for it like you do, but I do not even find time for that. And there are some pages not finished in the German version too, which should get priority. (Good that you didn't ask for HOTSPOT 😉 )

But the examples and the object should explain itself.
