<div>This would have been pretty much my thought; the use of Transcript is just one out of many possible applications for a workspace. And personally, I do also favor the MDI style over SDI. :-)</div>

Well *I* wouldn't be happy with them but then I immediately load my prefs file anyway so maybe I wouldn't even notice.<br>

But a Transcript is fundamentally different to a Workspace; the former is for the system to tell you what is going on, not for scribbling notes.<br>
