			select two files in the top file list, then right click and choose "<I>More</I>" → "<I>Compare with each Other</I>".

			Alternatively, choose "<I>Tools</I>" → "<I>File Operations</I>" → "<I>File Differences</I>" from the main menu. If only one file is selected, that operation asks for the name of a second file (useful if the other file is found in another directory). If no 2nd file is selected, the file's contents is compared against the text editor's contents.
