Re: WDSC HELP needed. Installation and Education

I believe in WDSC a user action is defined as being specifically for 
either an object or a member.  You can obviously define the action under 
both categories.

I really like the search feature in WDSC.  It can search multiple source 
files no problem.  The results come up in a window and you can then open 
the editor right to the line where the match is found.  A nice enhancement 
request might be to enable user actions in the search results list so you 
could do something other than open an editor.
