Re: SEU vs. ?

Some of the features that improve my productivity are:
(these relate to Code as I haven't moved to WDSC 5.0
yet, although soon).

- Having many members open for editing at once, and
being able to minimize them all at once.  Once I open
a source member I tend to leave them open until the
end of the day in case I need to go back to it.  Easy
to close them all at the end of the day.

- Having a single source member open in multiple
windows at the same time.  All windows are editable
and changes in one are instantly available in all
windows.  This allows you to see different related
parts of the same source member at the same time and
make changes either place.  Such as modifying a
procedure prototype and the callp statement using it
at the same time.

- Being able to double-click an error message and
positioning me to the error in question in the source.

- Being able to compile without exiting the editor and
keeping the source open.  This makes the
compile/test/debug cycle a much quicker turnaround for
me.

- F1 context sensitive help takes me to the Reference
Manual.

- Code Designer - ah, this is a tremendous improvement
in creating/modifying printer and display files. 
Being able to drag/drop fields around the display. 
Easy access to field attributes.  This part of Code
may be around for awhile so may still be worth
learning for those that are new to the tools and are
starting with WDSC 5.0.


That's just what pops into my head at the moment. 
There are other things that others have mentioned that
add up after awhile.  For me, the added productivity
is definitely there.  I work some other places on the
side where I don't have access to the client tools and
I can just tell I'm not getting as much done even
though I do use several Client Access sessions to try
and do things in parallel.
