Re: Toggle Browse/Edit Mode

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve

I like the 2 places to double-click - I just wish that it would show 
both modes for editing - as I think about it, the bar above the edit 
window does show only Browse - you assume you are editing unless told 
otherwise.

The problem is, that blank box at the status bar gives no clue it can be 
used for anything. Is there an RFE for this? I thought I might have 
submitted one.

No one would easily have a clue about the keyboard alternative, seems to me.

Regards
Vern
