I'm looking for any information on how to create a floating window that
stays on top of all windows of ALL application layers under MultiFinder.
I want to be able to put this window somewhere on the screen and have it
accessible at all times and never be hidden by any other window.

I know this is fairly easy within a single application, but I'm not sure
how to do this within MultiFinder.  While my goal is to have this work
under 7.0, I'd also like it to work on 6.0.x.  I'm not at all against
using unsupported and undocumented features and traps (such as the
rumored Layer Manager), so any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
