Configure Documents

I've recently got on board with the quick access to documents the PL/SQL provides using "Configure Documents" from the tools menu. This is, however, a problem. Often I'm logged into multi environments by having 2 or more PL/SQL Developer windows/Instances open. When I choose a file from my document menu it will always open it in the latest opened PL/SQL Developer instance rather than from the instance the file was picked from. Have I missed a setting here is this current behavior?
 
I'm not quite sure what you mean. The document is not really opened in a specific PL/SQL Developer instance, but in a separate task for Acrobat Reader, Internet Explorer, MS Word, or whatever program is associated with the document.

Can you explain what exactly happens?
 
Maybe I'm not using it as it was designed. I have several Command scripts I use on a regular basis so I defined these scripts as "Document" entries. This allows me to hit a tool bar button and get my script without having to browse for it.
I guess because file extension is regestered as a PL/SQL Developer file it opens as I expect it to just not always in the current instance, but rather the most recently opened instance.
 
You are indeed not using the Documents tool as designed :). I guess there is currently no feature that allows you to quickly load frequently used command scripts.
