There's also a program on Aminet called Menufy.  You use control-double-click,
although I think that's selectable, to make the window disappear.  An entry
appears in the Tools menu, and when you select that the window reappears. The
docs said something about only menufying windows that "are willing", so it
won't work with all of them, but I haven't ever had it cause a crash.
