Philem, with the intention to aid you (and maybe some other Wings new users), i recorded a video (sorry but it hasnt audio) to show the funcionality of the following commands:
View|Highlight Aim ( A )
View|Frame ( Shift+A )
View|Reset View ( R )
View|Ortographic View ( O )
It is impossible to live without these commands and, although in video i use them by top menu, it is fundamental you use their respective hotkeys (noted above).
The basic use is the following.
If you have one or more objects (called in Wings "body") in scene, once you select anything (a Vertex, an Edge, a Face or an entire Body):
- if you hit A Wings will center the selection in viewport,
- if you hit Shift+A Wings will center and zoom selection in viewport,
- if you hit R Wings will return its default viewport zoom.
Usually i select an element or an area (by drawing a marquee around what i am interested), and go direct to Shift+A. Using A or Shift+A, if you rotate the camera, the elements aimed will be centered to camera.
As they are selection sensitive, so it is very important (to speed up the things) to use the following hotkeys to change the Mode and to deselect:
Deselect All ( Spacebar )
Vertex Mode ( V )
Edge Mode ( E )
Face Mode ( F )
Body Mode ( B )
It is an annoying video, but if you have some patience and experiment those procediments yourself, then, well, i hope the video can have some use for your studies.
ps: i didnt use View|Ortographic View ( O ) in video, but try it; this command turns on/off the perspective view.

ps: i'll try to record another one (in another thread) to show the Micheus Selection Groups window use.
Here it is: just a quick look at Selection Groups window. After select the areas you want, with a single click at that window you can quick select each one. If you click on another saved selection, the anterior one is deselected. It is easy (it was harder if you make this by using top menu Select|Selection Groups).

ps: the new Micheus window, called Saved Views (released today), is for sure very useful to you too.
