I don't see SciEdit as an advantage since
a) I don't use it ---
b) Because, if it allows more than one open file at a
time, I sure haven't figured out how.
c) WinEd allows more than one open file open at a time,
even if has a major flaw, namely it turns any copied
text (such as from another program or from Win32Forth's
screen) into one long line. It's making me crazy, but
having more than one file open at a time makes up for it.

If it really is this version you're using (V6.11.10) then the IDE
(Win32ForthIde.exe) File|Open File will open a new file; and the tab
Files will show you all the open files.
WinEd and SciEdit are still there too if you wish to use them. Edit the
file Win32forUser.cfg and change
>Win32ForthIDE
to
>WinEd

SciEdit is a Windows MDI application, so of course it support's
openning more than one file a time.
Use Ctrl+F6 to jump beetween the open files, or take a look at the
"window" menu, too see which files are currently opend.

You can also use restore on MDI client windows so they can be resized
and moved to display more than 1 file in the client area, plus of
course
tile and cascade to make it easier to select the windows for re-sizing.

Win32ForthIDE has a splitter pane on the L/H side (similar to WinEd)
which contains a tab control giving you a list of open files similar to
WinEd plus tabs for the class browser (which has been improved to
display the name of :Objects instead of [unknown] to indicate the class
is anonymous) the vocabulary browser (it used to be integrated with the
class browser, which ran as a separate window; the tab controls are
initialised in the background at start-up so there's no delay (it used
to
take about 20 seconds on a PII) when switching to them) projects and
directories (the latter 2 are from project manager).
As well as source files MDI client windows can display HTML (using a
W32F COM and Active X interface), graphics (various formats) and hex
dumps of binary files, so it's easier to manage projects that contain
these
types of files. The HTML display is also used to display the W32F
documentation, DPANS and Dr Nobel's excellent tutorial and can be used
for your own documentation as well (Win32ForthIDE inherited the code
(on the DexH menu item) from SciEdit to easily mark-up sections as
glossary entries/ paragraphs).
