I am not sure that I understand how the output viewer could reasonably be a pane in the data window, because one can open multiple data files but there is only a single stream of output. One could change to having multiple streams of output, one for each data file that is open, but this would be a bigger conceptual change, to my mind. _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list pspp-dev@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
