I agree with you Alan. For my purposes, either a "pinned" window or "always
on top" window would work.

I think it would also be useful to be able to "pin" the window, like
help windows, command window, etc. in the general Stata object (frame,
whatever a programmer calls it). That is similar to always being on
top.
Best,
Alan
