This is a fundamental flaw in IDE. The TabItem combo in IDE's toolbar uses Title
instead of Name. I did not think anyone would use duplicate Title and I used
Title so the programmer could easily match up the tab he is viewing to the entry
in the combo. However most everywhere else I use Name. I can make this change.

Right now I am in the middle of a huge move to another state in the USA and will
not be able to address IDE issues (meaning another release) until the move is
completed which may be several weeks away.
