- Fair enough - but it would be nice if it was put on a Configure - most of the
- rest of the preferences are - I mean most people I know dont let windows fly off all
- sides (they normaly fix the top left corner of the screen so windows cant go that way),
- but the option is there.

- P.S. I was using Risc OS 3.1 Edit yesterday and had two windows open on the
- same file - I lost one - I dont know where it went - but the '2' was
- still in the title of the other window. I checked the backdrop - it
- was knowwhere to be seen. I tried everything - 'f12', change screen mode,
- dont allow dragging off the side etc. - but to no avail - it
- had gone - I couldnt get it back - has anyone else had this??
