However, if that cellview is already opened in Edit mode, the cellview is not re-opened in read mode.
• write: Displays the cellview and permits you to edit and save. Find marker searches for the markers with the criteria specified in the find marker form and opens the cellview containing the first desired marker in Edit mode.
