I've found it handy to have "emacs", "more", "shell" and "browser" sitting at the bottom of the screen ready for use. The files are not actually moved from their disks: they are simply not displayed in their proper window and seem perfectly happy to remain on the WB screen. Is this an advertised feature? Is there a way to move WB objects onto the WB screen so that at boot time my favorite tools are waiting for me? (BTW - I've got 1.3) -Tom P.S. - these tools sitting at the bottom of the screen give WB a "MicroSoft Windows 3.0" look. Blech.
