Have you seen the other things you can in MPW now when tools are
running? I really like being able to play around with the windows
(move, resize, scroll them). I'm always looking for something to do
when compiling, so I look over my source code and think about what I'm
going to do when the &%$# compile finishes.

Unfortunately, you can't open or close windows when a tool is running.
I expect it has something to do with MPW's file system hooks.
