3652.0. "Selection & input focus in V3 - QAR 535" by NECSC::LEVY (Closer to fine) Tue Nov 13 1990 15:55

I QARed this as #535 in the V3 database:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using DECwindows V3, I find it impossible to take advantage of FileView's 
selection capabilities.

In DECwindows V2 it was possible to select a file, move to an EVE window, and 
select the Open Selected... option to pull that file in.

In V3, as soon as I select the File menu in EVE, input focus is assigned to 
that window.  This negates the selection in the FileView window and I must
now type in the full filespec in EVE.  This negates a large productivity 
gain in previous versions.

Thanks,

	- Dave

BTW - I was surprised at how FEW QARs there were out there!

    Well, the 535 are since April or so.  I just familiarized myself with
    the new QAR system a little more.
    
    I thought that just doing a DIR would show me all of 'em .  It shows me
    the last screenful!
    
    Nevermind!
