Joe,
I did read your article, but after I had posted the original question.
I found the article to be very informative and wish I had known of it sooner.
Keep up the great work.

Thanks Brian.
Jeff, did you take a look at the article I posted? In it, I talk about how
you create screen associations which allow you to display multiple records
together using the Design tab of the Screen Design view; this is in effect
the same WYSIWYG display we use in SDA. The Source tab brings up the LPEX
DDS editor, and as Brian points out, the Preview tab currently doesn't do
anything. But it really doesn't need to; the Design tab is as good as CODE
Designer (and certainly as good as SDA).
The currently "active" screen is displayed in full color, while the other
screens are grayed out. There are toolbar tools that control whether those
other screens are displayed or not, and whether fields on those screens are
shown with "example" values (like the OOOOOOO or 99999999 that we're used to
seeing in SDA).
There are also sliders to control the magnification of the screen, and the
intensity of the grid lines on the screen. There are other features, too.
Like I said, the article does a pretty good overview.
