Hi Lex,

thank you for your ideas.

That's the point of it ;-)

Seems I need to explain my usage pattern ...

I startup squeak, switch between different projects to work on 
different, well projects. Everywhere I have a Wiki open and use it as a 
not pad. Sometimes I close it, or it get's obscured by other windows.
At some time I "save and quit".

On the next startup I'm in whatever prohject I last was in, the wiki 
pops up and shows me whatever page I edited last, as to get me going 
fast. If I had it closed, I get the page which has the overview of what 
I find interesting at the moment.

Of course I hate windows popping up on me *while I work*, but at startup 
time I find a - carefully chosen - set of automatic information quite handy.


Kind regards,

Ingo
