[Coco] Phoenix IDE update

[Lothan]

When I first ran Phoenix, I was prompted by Internet Explorer to open or 
save several PDF files. I think these were supposed to be embedded in the 
tabs, but those tabs all show Navigation Canceled. I suspect this is because 
I don't have Adobe Acrobat installed, so I don't have the PDF embedding 
controls for Internet Explorer.

I pulled out one of the docked panels onto the second monitor. When I ran 
Phoenix the second time, the panel opened in the same location on the second 
monitor but was then hidden behind NitroPDF opening second copies of the 
PDFs it opened the first time I ran Phoenix. You might consider converting 
the PDF documents to HTML and embedding the HTML instead.

The installer didn't give me an opportunity to tell it where to install (not 
really a huge deal), and I had to go digging around a bit to find it. This 
is because I was looking for Phoenix IDE somewhere in the Start menu or 
program files. I didn't expect to find it under Taylor Software in \Program 
Files (x86).

Some of the items in the Soltions treeview don't do anything; e.g. Borland 
C++ test, HelloWorld, TasmTest, and the Vectrex items.

Projector-3 opens a bunch of files, but then complains it can't find 
C:\ProgramData\Phoenix IDE\Solutions\Tandy CoCo\Projector-3\Variable Slope 
Audio.asm.

What are all the tabs for in the properties window? This is the window that 
has the DataBindings and DocFont properties. Speaking of which, it's nice 
that it saves and restores the properties, but it seems to do so on a 
per-file basis. Is there a way to set the default font and font size 
globally? It's kind of a pain to have to change the font for each file in a 
project one-by-one.

When I click Sprites, I get a dialog saying, "The system cannot find the 
path specified. Error occurred opening 4DGL_16bitColours.fnc".

When I click Flash Drives, I get a dialog saying, "Invalid device."

I was also wondering if someone with two monitors could see if the
relocatable docking panels can be sent to the second monitor and then
if they come back there when the IDE is restarted.
