I think, it would be a good idea, to implement the "View" of a file in the Command menu instead to chose it on the top. I have written this to MK.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean, but you can also view a file by clicking outside the items in the menu to view a highlighted file or files (the pointer seems to rest in just the correct place when I enter the F3 menu), instead of using F4-View.

(not quite sure if that's what you meant though, Ralf)

That's what I do with Files, I find the selecting of the F3 commands a nice feature.

Maybe a better idea woukd be to request the release of Qpac2 source, so we can learn to programme like experts...

I know, but I find it more comfortable to make it with the Commands menu, as you can more select, what you want to do.

Marcel gave me the hint. The solution is pretty simple: Just right click where no item is, and the View window appears.

I must be missing something here - how does that differ from what I said?

Ah, sorry Dilwyn, I probably haven't read carefully .
