Got it. The bookmark works only within a single editor (or VFP session), i.e. it's temporary, whereas tasklist shortcut is permanent (until deleted). Then this does make sense - and the lack of visual clues on where the bookmarks may lead you is justified. This is good for jumping between two methods which call each other, or the .h file and the place where the constants are used etc etc.

Nothing now. I thought for a while these would be bookmarks similar to those in Word, and there you have a GoToBookmark thing, which is one of the tabs in the GoTo dialogue. But this is not similar, and the bookmarks in Word are, as the Brits would say, a horse of quite a different coloUr.

>>Speaking of which, there are several icons I see there - there's the blue rectangle for the tasklist, another one for the bookmark, red dot for a breakpoint and then sometimes I see a black triangle, which disappears as soon as I start typing.

>Hmm, I don't think that's suppose to happen. :-) Seriously, I don't know that the black triangle is supposed to appear under any circumstance.

Will make a screen shot with both clipboard and digital camera. Camera first, just in case it vanishes on me as I touch the keyboard. If I ever see it again.
