How long have you been using the tool?  Don't give up to easily, it's a really 
great IDE.  Remember, F9 wasn't in SEU initially either.  I have been using 
WDSc for 3 years now and wouldn't dream of going back to PDM.

To more directly address your concern.  With WDSc you have to do a little 
preparation and planning.  The question you need to ask yourself is why do you 
need to alter the library list.  You can create an environment with the proper 
library list a couple of different ways in WDSc.  None of which happen from the 
editor.

If you need a specific library list for a given project then I would recommend 
creating a connection for that project.  Under the properties you can set the 
library list for the connection.  Every time you start WDSc this connection 
will have the library list you specified.  All compiles happen with this 
library list.

If you need to temporarily add a library to the library right click on the 
library list sub-heading for your connection.  From there you are prompted to 
add a library list entry.  Expanding the library list sub-heading and right 
clicking a library gives you options for moving a library around in the library 
list or removing it altogether.

Under the properties for your connection is a subsystems tab.  On this tab you 
can specify a command to run at startup.  This command can set your library 
list.

IBM has gotten a lot of complaining and has done much to address the concerns 
of WDSc users.  The product gets better all the time.  It's not PDM though and 
it will never work like PDM.  Contrary to what others may think PDM is dead.  
It's as good as it's ever going to get.  New capabilities required to support 
future enhancements will not be made to PDM.  Learn to work with WDSc and you 
will be better off in the long run.  Go through the tutorials, read the help, 
and ask questions. 

Rick

Let's say I am trying to work on a DSPF, but I need to alter my library
list. I tried the CMD 9 in the Qshell but EDtlible doesn't do anything.

I am sorry to say, I think this product is unduly difficult to get the
hang of.
It is not encouraging to people who don't see the need to go off PDM. I
know that they are forcing us to, but IBM should be ready for a lot of
complaining.
