AFA sequencing goes, what is the approach if you have a panel, let's say
glossary, that you want to have appear on top in all instances?<br>
<br>
I have added it in the top level FW entry pane, but when called it appears to
be underneath content displayed in the pages attached to the nested FW.<br>
I'm guessing that since it was instantiated prior to the nested framework, it
is "lower" than subsequent icons.<br>
<br>
Is there a best practice to force it to screen level?<br>

all,<br>
<br>
Has anyone gigged up a cheat sheet or is there a resource for editing
practices?<br>
<br>
I'm probably doing something backwards, or since some things don't seem to work
as they say on the can it may be something in my setup.<br>
e.g. doubleclicking a draw icon on the tree does not open the draw editor.<br>
If I highlight an icon below an interaction in the tree and hit Shift/Cntrl/F5
it loads and comes to rest at an icon above that interaction.<br>
How does sequence/layering work? I am having difficulty reaching icons that
appear to be "under" another icon on the display.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
