Re: A NEWBIE

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome, Ray. I use the F9 and F5 suggestions, as well. Also, you can use
what are called user options in PDM. And you can have those logged in the
command history, as well. Just take F18 and page down - there's a setting
to log option commands. It can be a pain, though, if you've run the same
option on the whole list  ;-(

PDM has a lot of power - F13 repeats an option to the end of the list, F17
gives you extensive filtering, option 25 gives you text search, with choice
of options when something is found. Create options (14 & 15) understand
which command to execute, based on source type.

Anyway, enjoy.
