Problem with SAS editor

I use SAS 8.2, but I don't use Enhanced Editor, I prefer old Program Editor (use numbers on the left side); on my 'Preferences' I disabled Enhanced Editor, and for a while everything was OK, every time I opened SAS, it would open on Program Editor. Then something happend, and now when I open SAS, it opens LOG window, and in order to open Program Editor, I have to go to 'View' and click on Program Editor. It's annoying, does anybody know why it is this way?
Thanks.
 
First of all I must inform you that you could have numbers along the side of the window in the enhanced editor. There are also tons of shortcuts that can make programming in the enhanced version realy pleasant. What probably changed is either your runline to launch sas, or in your config file (this is prob more so if you use a shared config file).

To get your old setting back do the following:
Tools-->Options-->Preferences
Select the Edit tab.
Uncheck the 'Use Enhanced Editor' check box.
I hope that this helped you.

Klaz,
Thank you for your help. The reason why I like to use numbers in program editor is that I use commands in number field (like 'D' to delete, or 'C' to copy, or 'M' to move) and enhanced editor doesn't have this feature.
Thanks anyway.
