If I'm editting the file:
/home/msevior/abidir/AbiSuite/bin/chaos_prog.abw
(To pick a random example) I think the dialog should say:
Foo Dialog:- chaos_prog.abw
To distingish the fact the that the currently active document is
chaos_prog.abw and not:
/home/msevior/abidir/AbiSuite/bin/YALT_file.abw
which is also being editted but was not the most recently focussed. If it
were the heading would be:
Foo dialog:- YALT_file.abw
Cheers
Martin
