Subsections

8.1 Selecting and Loading Buffers

If more than one window is active, you can select between various windows and decide which to display on the screen. These commands are available from the windows menu.

8.1.1 Select Window [Windows Menu S]

Accessing this option will bring up a new menu with a list of all the available buffers (or windows). Move the cursor to select or active the window to make active. The window will be displayed and made active.

8.1.2 Select Next Window [Escape PageDown]

Pressing [Esc][PageDown] will display or focus the next buffer/window. If you are currently at the last window, the first window will be made active.

8.1.3 Select Prior Window [Escape PageUp]

Pressing [Esc][PageDown] will display or focus the previous buffer/window. If you are currently at the first window, the last window will be made active.

8.1.4 Make New Window [Windows Menu M]

You can create a new buffer/window at any time with this option. The buffer will contain no data and will be listed in future Window Select menus as ``Not Named''.

8.1.5 File New Window [Windows Menu F]

Just like creating a new window, but you are prompted for a file to load.
