[TxMt] first impressions

[Trevor Turk]

Kevin, thanks for the reply. Sorry if I wasn't clear,
but a lot of that was just notes. I hope that they
could be indicative of many users first few questions.
I noticed that there isn't too much documentation, so
I started collecting notes as a learned, in the hopes
that it might be useful for any documentation later.

Sounds like it might be moving toward what I'm looking
for. Basically, I like it when programs stay in one
window. I think that "project" part of the "project
drawer" is great, but it forces me to make projects
when I really just want to use a single window.
Perhaps you could have a "scratch project folder" type
of thing, where if you chose to have a single window
interface, new files would be opened in a ~Temp folder
in the project drawer... I'm just trying to think of
how a single window interface might be possible -
because I like the keep the number of windows open to
a minimum.

Thanks! Adding to my notes...

No, I was just noting how things worked because it
took me a while to figure it out.

Thanks again,
