- I cast my vote with Bammi. As far as windows, you don't have to
- actually top the window, just make it active. An option for this
- would be wonderful. I changed my copies of unix windows and MW2
- to add "point-to-type" (as opposed to "click-to-type") options.
- It really makes them much more usable.
