I have an application that uses at least 5 windows, perhaps more, at one time. It involves comparing two editions of, say, a Virginia Woolf novel for slight editorial differences (in this case, between the English and the American editions). With a window for each edition that makes 2. But since I have to massage the two editions to make them compare without stopping at trivial points, I like to keep an un-massaged version of each edition in their own windows; that makes 4. Then there are the macros I use to make the comparison: since I have trouble remembering them all it is convenient to have them displayed (DIRL *.PGM) in another window. That's 5. It seems to me I used more at one time, but I can't remember when. If I wanted more than 9, as Sherry suggests, I think I would launch two MS-DOS sessions in Windows (almost the only virtue of Windows that I have discovered). Then I could flip back & forth between DOS sessions and have a total of 18 windows. Whether I could keep them straight in my mind is another matter! Cheers, Phil Smith
