Re: st: Suggestion Stata GUI - another suggestiong

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

While we are on the topic of the new GUI, I have a request/query if I'm 
missing some easy solution.

Under Windows XP, I have both graph windows and viewer windows set to 
float, so they remain on top of the rest of Stata.  This is handy most of 
the time, as, e.g., when I open up the help file for some obscure bit of 
-graph- syntax, and don't want it to disappear when I start typing in the 
command window, or when I am iteratively crafting a graph and don't want it 
to disappear  when I start typing the next graph command.

However, sometimes I want to be able to see the underlying Stata results 
(et al.) windows, without having to close permanently the graph or viewer 
window(s) that obscure it.  With the graph windows, this is easy, because 
they include the little control it the top-right corner that allows the 
window to be minimized (the one that looks like a little "-").

But the viewer window has no such "minimize" function.

Am I missing something?

Best,
Nick
