for example, there is sometimes some file work i need to do ( enough so that i set a custom lister for it) where it'd be nice to have 3 windows- since there can be only two, i often have to minimize/restore listers back and forth. i think tabs though, will pretty much cover this area.
speaking of tabs, i cant quite figure out how to use them yet- i set a tab up with a starting folder, and the lister opens in that folder, over-riding the lister's setting to open with a folder- i thought that the lister would open, with a tab starting in the folder i specified in the tab settings? many questions yet
