<DIV><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>>Could you list some example applications

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, most applications open more than one window
at various times. Yes often these are modal dialog boxes, but they should also
be possible to open in an true os window from squeak which brings us to a system
preference that could be added that would allow squeak windows to be opened in
their own os window. Very cool.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In any of the serious desktop applications that
I've every written or worked on as part of a team our applications have had
multiple windows. It's just the normal way of it. It's just that Squeak is the
anomoly in Smalltalk systems in that squeak only opens in one os window rather
than opening each squeak window in it's own os window.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I really think the changes needed to make multiple
os windows work are less challenging than most of us think. We really just need
one or two people who know how to do it and it should only take a couple of days
or less work since the code is already there but just needs reworking so
that it's flexible.</FONT></DIV>
