Then it should be named more obviously like "Reformat Selection"

Assume I've load rather large file into editor and introduced some
changes. Now I want to test them before saving. Scipad can quickly load
current unsaved version, but Scilab Editor can't:
"Execute -> Load Into Scilab" takes ages to finish loading on my PC,
because it prints every line in the file; (bug?)
"Execute -> Execute File Into Scilab" needs saving file. Moreover "Save
and Execute" button opens second dialog for saved file before. (bug?)

IMHO, "Text Editor" would be better, there are many different editors even
inside Scilab, e.g., Graphic (Figure, Axes) Editor, etc.
