Hi Doug,

That you can see only part of the text in each window is
exactly why I like it!  I'll overlay my windows (none in
full screen) so that I can look at data as appropriate, then
type into the bottom of a command-line window.  It's a way
of looking at data from multiple sources and taking action
on that data without shuffling or moving focus.  Very
efficient for me doing system admin type tasks.  I set
focus to "click to mouse" so that the overlaying doesn't
change when I type in a window.  That MS Windows moves
the typed-into window to the front of all others is, for
me, a fatal flaw.  I just can't use MS Windows.

Regards,
Lew Wolfgang
