Where did you get a cnxml.cdxml? There should be no such beast.

There isn't anything that can be turned off, like extra debugging.
Do you have sufficient RAM? Or do you have lots of other stuff running?
I routinely run Dabo in VMs for XP and Linux, and the XP VM is
noticeably snappier than the Linux VM, even though they have the same
RAM available, and are running under the same processor.

I'll answer it anyway: no.

It shouldn't be doing that. There is a glitch in the CD that
sometime causes empty slots to display a rapid flickering, but I've
never see it on a running form.

Right now the CD and the CxnEditor are separate tools. The goal of
the IDE is to integrate them all into a single environment, but
that's a ways off into the future. But there's absolutely no reason
not to fire up a text editor and change the cnxml any time you feel
like it. The Dabo tools are all two-way: changes in either the source
or the tool is immediately reflected in the other.

It's even cooler when you find yourself spending days and days
working on something and finally get it to work. I can't tell you how
cool a feeling it was when I was able to take an XML file for a class
design and write a program that turns it into a live class! That took
me the better part of two weeks to write, but when it finally worked,
what a rush!
