Hello,

I would need a Command implementing the {File }{More}{Open in horizontal..} menu command.

I have been looking at File_Open( ) in the online help. I did find quite a few OPTIONS, but not this one. May be all that I need is a combination of them?


Thanks,

-peter.

It is internally implemented by something similar to:

Get_Filename(121,"*")
#121=Win_Free Buf_Switch(Buf_Free) Win_Split(#121,0,BOTTOM)
File_Open("|@(121)") Win_Attach(#121)

Thanks Ted:

This idea works great for me!

Now, I am back with another issue. According to the recent enhancement, Vedit opens my file in the "file sharing mode", a per the online help. Of course, I want my latex compiler to overwrite my .log file, which I have opened in Vedit in the horizontal window.

Next, I would like to have a shortcut for pressing the [Reload] button in the Reload dialog box. In other words, I would like to choose the [Auto-reload if bigger..] button instead.

My problem is that apparently my .log file does not meet the "bigger" requirement. In other words if I press the [Auto-reload ...] button, my updated .log file will not be loaded.

Thanks,

-peter.
