Re: Where in the RPG am I? An RFE idea

Hi Charles
Please put that as a separate RFE.  I haven't seen that requirement yet,
but it makes sense to me

My initial thought was I wasn't to sure about the idea of the outline view
changing on me..

I hate it when it does that now :)

But after checking out the highlight multiple occurrences (how did that one
slip by me)...perhaps I can live with it changing.

Any thoughts on my comment of having the outline view include
subprocedure/subroutine name instead of just line# in the cross reference?

Should I put that in as it's own RFE?

Charles
