\item[Window title:] DsTool: Continuation State
\item[Function:] The Continuation State window displays information about
	the last point computed by the continuation routines.
\item[Description:] The Continuation State window is opened by selecting
	the State window button in the Equilibrium Continuation window.
	The window allows the user to see the values of the 
	variables, parameters, and auxiliary functions, as well as the eigenvalues
	of the Jacobian matrix for the last equilibrium point computed by the continuation routines.
	In addition, the point displayed can be copied to the Selected Point window.
\item[Panel items:] \mbox{}
	\begin{itemize}
	\item {\em Name} read-only text fields:
		Display the value of each variable, parameter,
		and auxiliary function in the current dynamical system
		at the end of the last computed continuation curve.
	\item Eigenvalues read-only text fields:
		Display the values of
		the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix at the last computed fixed point.
	\item Update selected point command button:
		Copies the displayed point into the Selected Point window.
	\item Dismiss command button:
		Closes the Continuation State window. 
	\end{itemize}
