Re: Both FM and FM+SGML?



To add to that, on Windows, a file 'associated' with the application FRAME, 
when double-clicked, will open in the open instance of FrameMaker -- 
anything from 4.0 to 6.0, regular or ethyl (SGML) -- regardless of which is 
the "default" version as far as Windows is concerned.

So to force a Frame file to open in a given version on a system with 
multiple versions, just open that version of Frame first, then double-click 
the file.

For convenience, you can put shortcuts to these versions in a number of 
places -- desktop, Start menu, or the Quick Launch toolbar (Win98).
