I find HE's behvior a bit puzzling when I want to open different html sites in different tabs of the integrated browser.
The only way to achieve it I found is to open the source of a locally saved site first and than preview it with F12 (or via View menu).
When I simply enter a new adress into the adress bar, the site is opened instead of the previous one although that was opened in another tab...
Is this behavior intentional?

Generally yes. It is intentional. It like in the web browser, when when you type new url in the address field it opens it in the same tab.
Otherwise, you will always get new tab open.
There are several other ways to open browser windows in HE:
- use menu Help->Syntax Help to add a shortcut for opening help urls. Actually you can open any url there.
- or from already open bowser  window, click on some link keeping Ctrl pressed.

But I am agree that this is not very intuitive. I will add new command for opening new+empty browser window.
Do not know when. Or 1.49 (there is not much to do) or in 1.50.

Best regards,
Alex.
