When you start up a compile in MPW, you can't use your MPW editor to browse your files. This was a horrible design decision when they made MPW in the first place. Since multifinder isn't a true multitasking solution, the best you can hope for is to run two HUGE copies of MPW and maybe the MPW tools will be friendly enough to allow you to compile from one and edit from the other. >-- >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Evan Torrie.
