Joe,

This is probably not the right forum, but I agree with dave.  the
issue of opening a member using the explorer via the mouse is major
issue I have with wdsc.

I absolutely hate reaching for my mouse when i'm coding.  It's the
single biggest hurdle I've found to using it.  I know there are some
shortcuts, but they invariably involve the mouse eventually.  I can
type a source member name faster than I can reach for my mouse, study
the screen click some plus signs, scroll and double click.  I know pdm
so well, I don't even have to look at the screen half the time.

Oh well,  I'm still trying to get used to it.  maybe it will get better.
