RE: Can't open same source member twice

Sarah,

Color me skeptical - I often have views open simultaneously of my D specs, the 
point where a function or subroutine is being called, and the function or 
subroutine itself, and make coordinated changes in all 3 views without needing 
to do any more than go from one to the next (Alt-right arrow or Alt-left 
arrow).  Can a filter to do that be set up as easily as doing Alt, F, V, and 
then paging, filtering, searching, or using the Navigator to get to the 
relevant spot?  Coming from SEU I can see WDSC being a great improvement, but 
if it lacks even the basic features of CODE (or flex/Edit, which I used to use) 
it's just not appealing to me.
