<H1>Opening files for editing</H1>
<p>
You can launch an editor for a given file in several ways.
</p>
<ul>
<li>By right-clicking the file in one of the navigation views and then
selecting <b> Open</b> from the pop-up menu.</li>
<li>By double-clicking the file in one of the navigation views.</li>
<li>By double-clicking a bookmark that is associated with that file, in the
Bookmarks view.</li>
<li>By double-clicking an error or warning, or task record that is associated
with that file, in the Problems view.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of the above alternatives open the file in the default
editor for that type of file. To open it in a different editor, select
<b>Open With</b> from the file's pop-up menu.</p>
