Yes, but that still limits things for me.  This gives you an F3 viewer, 
whatever you want, an *.ext viewer, what ever you want, an ALT-F3 viewer, the 
built in one.  That gives me two real choices, plus the built in one.  I use 
more viewers than that, and while a bit whiney I admit, I would like at least 
another choice with F3, just like I have with the editors.  It would seem a 
minor programing task to exactly duplicate the flexibilty of F4 for editors 
with the F3 for viewers.  It seems almost an oversight by Wolfgang, no big 
deal of course.  
Hey, when you're spoiled, you always want more, needed or not:-)
