Thanks, Jonas, this is what I'd normally do in any other windows
program.
However, try this:

ctrl(W) ; puts focus on command line: Works.
IDL> .ed prog1
IDL> .ed prog2
IDL> .ed prog3 ; Now focus is in the prog3.pro window, and you can move
the cursor around in it with the arrows, highlight with shift(arrow),
copy with ctrl(C), etc.: Fine
ctrl(W) ; puts focus back on the command line: Works.
ctrl(tab) ; Apparently changes focus between the editor windows,
but you don't have the cursor there. It is still on the command line, so
you cannot highlight with shift(arrow), copy with ctrl(C), etc.: Not so
good.

Also, strangely, the output log is not a 'window' on a par with the
other windows. To get focus on it, you have to click in it with the
mouse. Only then can you maneuvre in it with the keyboard.
