[APBeta] re. multiple plans open

[Peter B]

Paul,
   
  Regarding my question on thre multiple plans being open and what I thought was a splash screen, I now understand what you are trying to achieve in terms of a multi-document app.  I think the confusion comes from the fact that it looks like you have multiple instances of AP open when you open a second plan - unlike the way say Excel treats multiple documents open within the same window.
   
  The main thing I don't like about the AP approach is if you have the relescope connected then open a second plan the telescope is not connected in that plan.  Is it done this way to enable different plans to be connected to different telescopes concurrently?
   
  I think it would be less confusing if the plan was just a window within the main app - ie the dropdown menus and info bar were not repeated on every plan however I guess this would only allow one telescope connection at any time.
   
  Regards,
   
  Peter
