I may have posted this before, but...
Is there any way to get the latest online E-Basic Help to not "stay on top" of E-Studio when it is open? I need to frequently refer to the EB Help as I develop my programs, and I simply do not have the screen real estate to arrange for E-Studio and EB Help to remain fully visible at the same time. And even if I could, no longer works to switch between EB Help and E-Studio, I have to resort to the mouse which is a real nuisance for me. I should be able to just between EB Help and E-Studio like before, instead of having to close (using the mouse again) & reopen EB Help every time I need a look.
While I am carping about the EB Help, I would also like some way to close EB Help with the keyboard, as it is I have to click on the close box with the mouse (in EP1 I could simply dismiss it with the key). Maybe I am the only developer left in the world who still prefers a keyboard, but it is a real nuisance to me. (I learned to touch-type in high school back in the early 1970s, got a D in the class then but later events turned this into a very useful skill!)
And could we please not have it open full screen, forcing me to "restore" & resize it every time I open it? Better yet, have it remember its window settings so it will open the way I like it the next time.
Aha! In the course of drafting this post I just discovered that if I open EB Help directly from the Start Menu instead of from E-Studio then things work *much* better. I can , and pull E-Studio back over EB Help to continue my work, so that is a workaround. It also does not open full screen, but I still would not mind if I could resize it a bit and have it remember my settings (I know, "picky, picky, picky"). I still have to use the mouse to close it, but if I can leave it up in the background then that is not such a problem.
Thank you,

| I can confirm that as of 2.0.8.30 (and potentially versions prior) that you can click away from the E-Basic help. I understand that the current public version may not have this in there yet, but it has been addressed.
