| |
| <P>The Workbench allows you to have multiple files open in multiple editors. Unlike |
| views, editors cannot be dragged outside the Workbench to create new windows. |
| However, you can tile editor sessions within the editor area, in order to view |
| source files side by side. |
| </P> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>With two or more files open in the editor area, select one of the editor tabs.</li> |
| <li>Holding down the left mouse button, drag that editor over |
| the left, right, top or bottom border of the editor area. Notice that the |
| mouse pointer changes to a "drop cursor" that indicates where the |
| editor session will be moved when you release the mouse button.</li> |
| <li>(Optional) Drag the borders of the editor area or each |
| editor, to resize as desired.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>This is a similar operation to moving and docking views inside |
| the Workbench, except that all editor sessions must be contained within the |
| editor area. |
