This is a *Feachure*! Alas, OpenLook only allows one "caret", or insertion point, per tool. If you want to change the caret, you must click in the command window or the source window. You cannot just move the mouse into the desired window and type a command.

You can always use aliases/variables and add dbxtool buttons to do this. There was an article on this in the Sun Observer ~6 months ago. Here are some highlights: - - - - - # put this is your .dbxinit file: unmenu Point7 menu ignore Point7 alias Point7 "source ~/.dbxinit-pt7" alias SmallFont "toolenv font 8x13bold" - - - - - # here is the file ~/.dbxinit-pt7 # for big jobs and small print # toolenv srclines 34 toolenv cmdlines 30 toolenv displines 5 SmallFont -- Bruce G.
