- I'm just getting use to using the Workframe that comes with CSet/2.
- Everything SEEMS nice, but I'm finding some things in the Workframe
- are counter-intuative. Some problems and related questions:
-
- (1) Say I'm editing a file in a open project; call it main.c. I then switch
- to the PM helpbook to find info on a WinFunction. I return to the
- workframe but my editor window is now hidden. So I click on the main.c
- line of my open project. Workframe fires up another copy of the
- editor that is editing the old version of main.c. The fastest way I've
- found of bringing back the "real" main.c is to find some visible desktop,
- do a MB1&MB2 and bring up the tasklist. This can't be the expected way
- to do this. Any suggestions?
-
- (2) And a followup to #1. Is there any easy way to switch between the
- Workframe and a help window? The best way I've found is to have
- the workframe about one pel from the left edge of the screen. I then
- put the help window all the way to the left. By pushing the mouse all
- the way to the left, I can switch to the help window. There is usually
- enough of the Workframe visible to switch back. Again, is this how
- the Workframe was designed or am I missing something obvious?
-
-
- Thanks in advance.
