If you like to use tabs instead of windows in DrRacket 5.2.1, this is a
very useful preference:
"Preferences -> General -> Open files in separate tabs (not separate
windows)"
Then you can open additional files in tabs by selecting from the
pulldown filename widget on the left end of the toolbar. In my
experience, this is faster than going to "File -> Open...", since that
file chooser defaults to the directory from which DrRacket started.
(Perhaps "File -> Open..." should be changed so that, *if there is an
open file in the current tab*, the file chooser starts in the directory
of that file, rather than in the current working directory of the
process from which DrRacket was invoked? But, *if there is no file*,
then file chooser starts in the process cwd.)
