<< Does anyone know how to cycle through open windows within a
workspace using either keystrokes or a designated icon. I know of the "next"
macro built in to TS and under Windows 3.1 you use to be able to use the key
combination of ctrl <f6> to switch between open windows. Windows95 and
possibly NT do not allow those functions within TS.
I find that having open several workspaces with single chart and/or
quote windows require more system resources than having fewer open
workspaces with more windows within. Switching between workspaces is just a
matter of paging down/up or designating a customized icon for the task, but
I'm requiring open window switches. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The "NEXT" macro works with TS (build 20, WIN95).
You can use a programmable switchboard or, better yet, the MS
Recorder application:
I prefer the second option since that allows me -- when I need it -- to
combine mouse movements with text. Here's the way to do it.
First, the recorder setup:
a) copy the necessary files (recorder.exe, recorder.hlp,
recorder.gid, recorder.dll) from Win 3x to Win95 \windows directory
b) make a shortcut to recorder.exe and place on the desktop
c) install Desk menu from Power Tools -- it will allow you to work with
recorder without having to reduce or minimize TS
Second, the macro recording:
First, maximize all windows on the page
Then, open Recorder, File, New, Macro -- Record
-- select a Shortcut Key
-- in Record Mouse: choose Ignore Mouse
-- in Playback: Speed: select Recorded Speed, check Enable Shortcut
Keys (if you do not check continuous loop, you can always
select it later by going to Macro, Properties)
-- Start
Type NEXT, wait the desired interval, type NEXT again, and so
on for each window on the page.
To stop recording hit Control-Break, Save.
To get more ideas on cycling symbols and pages in TS by using the
Recorder see one of my earlier posts on this forum, "reprinted" in
Trader's Digest.
