Well it's time for this old MVS/ISPF editor user to branch out.  I've
steadfastly refused to use the Enhanced Editor in lieu of the old trusted
Program Editor because I felt I could not do without the numerical Prefix
Area for commands such as C, CC, M, MM, R, RR, O, OO, A, B, etc.  But, I do
use Word and UltraEdit as my preferred word-processor and text editor, and
I get along just fine there without the Prefix Area, so why not give
Enhanced Editgor a fair shake.?  I know about it's new features such as
color highlighting and PROC/DATA step collapsing, and I like them a lot.

So here's my question.  In Program Editor, when I submit a job, the editor
is cleared and the next time I bring in a sas program via the Windows
Exporer, the same Editor window is used.  Sometimes I like this.  With
Enhanced Editor, every time I do this, I get a new, additional EE
window.  Sometimes this is good, sometimes not.  Is there any way, like an
option setting (I've looked and can't find it) that I can tell SAS to use
the same EE window over and over again?  I know how to tell it to clear the
EE window after submitting, and I know how to APPEND into an existing EE
window, but I want to be able to do this from the Windows Explorer and keep
using the same single EE window over and over again.  It's basically for my
SUGI Workshops that I want to do this, not real life.  Can do???

TIA.

Ray
