.Views.Add |

|
|
| 1055 |
|
Other views may be accessed within rview using the "L name" |
| 1056 |
|
command, and new views can be added with the "V name" |
| 1057 |
|
command. |
| 1058 |
+ |
|
| 1059 |
+ |
When using the "V" command to change an existing view, do not |
| 1060 |
+ |
give it a name because the previous view will not be overridden. |
| 1061 |
+ |
Instead, give it a new name (or no name, which will show up as |
| 1062 |
+ |
a number later), then use the Views screen to override the previous |
| 1063 |
+ |
view definition with the new one. |

| 1065 |

help category for more information.) |
