I am looking for some concrete information (or samples) on how to do 
floating windows in an application.  I can see two methods:

1) in your event loop make sure to use the SendBehind in most cases 
instead of SelectWindow and do something clever for FrontWindow.

2) Establish two SetTrapAddress's for SelectWindow and FrontWindow and 
then just write normally.  The latter seems nicer (I would use a 
windowKind other than 8 - say 9 - for floating windows to make them easier 
to spot) but details escape me.

If anything really neat somes in email, I will post it too.

Cheers - Yossie
