If you like to use tabs instead of windows in DrRacket 5.2.1, this is a very useful preference:<br>

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.<br>

(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.)<br>
