But this list taught me, a couple years ago, even better to turn off
"Always show split line" in Option 0, then use the SWAP key for a
blink comparison.


I always have "show split line" disabled, but on rare occassions I split my screen in the middle so I can compare two screens. I know about the edit COMPARE command and I use it frequently, but sometimes I want to compare two panels (not two files) and split is useful for that. However, by splitting the screen in the middle I can only see part of each panel, whereas if I use the ISPF GUI then each 'split' becomes a new window on my desktop. This allows me to see two (or even more) complete windows directly side by side. It's a very useful feature of the GUI, but as I said before, not nearly enough to make me want to use the GUI on a regular basis.
