 I may be missing something here, but why not use STACK?

This will give greater leverage to certain programs from U2, for instance Callnext, where the files in a directory are examined sequentially. You may want to search for information in the file that appears in the adjacent window. This will erase 'callnext' from the command line. However if you save it first with another Xpl program, it can be restored by an Xpl program when you revert to that window.

'Home' enables me to edit or make changes from the top of the screen as I find it easier than trying to do so from the middle or at the end. It is necessary to save it when I have to obtain information from files in adjacent so that it can be put back.
