For the Mac, there is an init called WindowShade (I have seen version 1.1,
there may be newer versions.  Anyone know if it works with System 7.0?) that
handles many of these "wish I could get to the area behind this screen"
problems.  It can be set so that a "command-click" on the title bar causes the
window to roll up like a venetian blind, leaving the title bar where it was and
revealing the "behind the scenes" area.

In addition, the title bar remains "active", but you can change the active
window to any other area visible by clicking on .  And since you can un-wind
other rolled up title bars, you can have a considerable number of these title
bars on view, without causing re-draw time to take ages, even on a Mac Plus
like mine.

BTW, my thanks also for the continuing informative nature of this discussion -
I am learning a lot about the actual working of the two machines that is of
real value.
