Re: [WDSCI-L] Questions about CL parser.

I don't know about the tab behavior - maybe run the "query keyaction tab" 
or whatever it is and see what it does - then change it in preferences. Use 
F1 in the command line to get a list of editor actions, etc.

At the risk of impertinence?about things landing in column 1, turn on auto 
formatting and set it the way you want. I know there are problems with the 
latest update with CL prompting and formatting. I mean, I've reverted to 
5.1.2.3 so that the prompter works mostly right.   ;-)
