Re: Convert selection to free-form

Hi Dave,

Unlike CODE, in Remote Systems LPEX Editor, when you convert, it is done in
place in your member.  No new file is opened.
I would note that the conversion provided (in both editor) only performs
conversion which provides truly equivalent code.  In some cases, exact
conversion is not possible, and so no conversion occurs.
This sounds like it might have been the case here - although it would have
been nicer if the message issued indicated that the conversion was not able
to convert any lines.  I have opened a requirement to address this.

thanks,
