Re: Convert selection to free-form

Jeff ol' buddy,

:p

I always open the old source that I'm copying FROM in browse mode (I can't 
update production source directly anyway, so I'd have to copy it to a 
non-production source file to open it for edit).  In CODE, I would convert 
the fixed to free, which would go to a separate window, and then copy that 
to the member I was working on.  It was easy.  Now with WDSCi, I'll copy the 
fixed to the member I'm working on, and then convert it - also easy, now 
that I know the incantation.  It just would have been a lot more obvious if 
WDSCi had said "Can't convert in place while in browse mode" or words to 
that effect instead of "Conversion complete."  Even better would have been 
if, when converting in browse mode, it was smart enough to do it the way 
CODE does.  That would be helpful when doing analysis, often moreso that the 
indent view.  Just a thought, of course.  (I'm sure that Violaine is 
listening... ;)
