The workframe is out to get me.

I'm just getting use to using the Workframe that comes with CSet/2.
Everything SEEMS nice, but I'm finding some things in the Workframe
are counter-intuative.  Some problems and related questions:
 
(1) Say I'm editing a file in a open project; call it main.c.  I then switch
    to the PM helpbook to find info on a WinFunction.  I return to the
    workframe but my editor window is now hidden.  So I click on the main.c
    line of my open project.  Workframe fires up another copy of the
    editor that is editing the old version of main.c.  The fastest way I've
    found of bringing back the "real" main.c is to find some visible desktop,
    do a MB1&MB2 and bring up the tasklist.  This can't be the expected way
    to do this.  Any suggestions?
 
(2) And a followup to #1.  Is there any easy way to switch between the
    Workframe and a help window?  The best way I've found is to have
    the workframe about one pel from the left edge of the screen.  I then
    put the help window all the way to the left.  By pushing the mouse all
    the way to the left, I can switch to the help window.  There is usually
    enough of the Workframe visible to switch back.  Again, is this how
    the Workframe was designed or am I missing something obvious?
 
 
Thanks in advance.
