Multiple (MDI) VEdit Windows
View of FlexEdit configured with multiple VEdit windows.
FlexEdit title bar shows there are 2 VEdit windows and 2 buffered files open. There can be any combination of open windows and buffered files, i.e. two open windows and 10 buffered files [2 Windows - 10 Buffers].
Each VEdit window shows the window instance and buffer numbers, i.e. [2-2], in its title bar.
You may close all VEdit windows without closing FlexEdit.
Detached VEdit Windows
FlexEdit with two detached VEdit windows is shown.
PMView had focus when screen captured so there is no selected window and therefor no status data.
FlexEdit and VEdit windows are individually placed as desired on the desktop.
VEdit windows have their own pulldown menu when detached. Either may be used.
