[comp.soft-sys.andrew] ez suggestion

I edit a lot of source files at a time (in another window, I count over
34 files).  I used to keep multiple windows open all the time, but they
take up a lot of screen real estate.  I have found the ^X^O key sequence
invaluable for switching to files already loaded.  However, I have a
suggestion that should be fairly easy to add that I think would be a
nice enhancement.

Suggestion:  It would be nice if you could open another window
associated with EZ that simply has a list of the files loaded in the
buffer.  Whenever I click on a file name, it automatically switches me
to that file.  I suppose if someone has multiple windows open, then the
click could switch the file of the last used window.

This probably is a faily easy change.  You have the precedence already
with your 'table of contents' feature that opens a second window. 
However, instead of bouncing around the same file, I'd like to bounce
between files.

Am I the only one with this interest?  I suspect this is probably the
problem of a programmer with many source files using EZ...  If you add
this suggestion to ez, I will definitely use it.
