Yes, this is annoying, I wonder if this is different when you run it using the
mouse. In other words, with a mouse, it is more easy to change several things
in a menu with out poping back.

One thing that is nice is that it allows you to load n files at once, where
n is some number, maybe 9(?). Then you can switch between them with the pf6 
key, or with alt m, m some number <= n.

One thing I have not figured out is what happens when you open the same file
more than once. I had the same file as window 3 and window 4. Then I did a
make, and it did not seem to see the changes I had made in one of the windows.
Presumably, it only sees changes in the window that was opened most recently.
or earliest. Time to RTFM I guess.
