From my perspective, there are two negative aspects of this compare
function. Firstly, it is a PITA to browse to the comparison target
repeatedly. Secondly, it presents the differences in "stacked" format
(ala diff or CMPPFM), but distinguishes adds/deletes by colours instead
of front-of-line characters. Every time I use it I have to think a bit
about which colour means which, but that maybe that is a matter of a
PEBKAC and this won't be a problem for others.

Thanks Adam, I have pretty much the same opinion. But when I'm in "I don't
want to get out of WDSC" mode, it's better than nothing.

Have you tried the RSE Extensions version? For my needs, RSE Extensions is great for a quick "what's changed?" If I need to compare and merge changes then I use 'Compare to file...', or MRGSRC. Actually, I need to do some merging this week, and 'Compare to file...' beat out MRGSRC because MRGSRC kept telling me it couldn't find any changes. Grrr.
