Hi Paul,
I did a search on Contexts in the help and found the following.

http://127.0.0.1:4727/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.etools.power.rse.doc%2Ftopics%2Ftmc_remotecontextsview.html

A Context is what the Remote Reconciler uses as the location of the host files that it is synchronizing its files with.
This is more useful on AIX where you may be porting from one machine to another. The ability to switch contexts on a project has not come to the IBM i yet.

Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I am looking for a manual, I think.
Can anyone direct me to a central documentation location where I can read about how to use RDP 8.5 and RSE?
I ask because I have become curious about what an 'IBMi Context' is. I see that I can create a context, which apparently points to either a QSYS library or an IFS folder. And I see that I can set a context as the 'Current Context', but I don't know what that means. I see that I can remove a context from a project, but I don't know what that means either.
Right now I feel like the characters in Beetleguise who are trying to read the Manual for the Recently Deceased.
