A couple of questions to 1.2 users. I just upgraded from 1.1 and although the system looks infinitely better, I'm paralyzed by the reworked editor. Specifically, how do you know what line your on, and can you switch between files (alla F2 in 1.1)? Thanks in advance Todd Greenwald

I believe that the answer to the switching files question is that one is suppose to start up two editors and switching files is a matter of clicking on a window (eck.)
