Re: cannot open source member

Ah, that sounds interesting for changing/enhancing, thanks!

In this case I'm stealing code to create new function so I'm
not seeing how compare works that well . . .

You might want to consider the "Compare with" "Each other" functionality in RSE - it puts a side-by-side display with navigation for walking the changes. Just select the before and after members, right-click, and see the "Compare with" item.

Another option is when you are in an edit window, go to the Edit menu option, then look for the "Compare..." tool there - it'll prompt you to enter another member, so go look for it - the result is a display in that window of RED and YELLOW - the former is deleted stuff, the latter is added stuff. A right-click there has options for navigating the changes.
