Is there a way to make PC windows *not* be the frontmost window? I've been using WinNT, Win95 and an older version of OS/2 for the past few months and they all make the current input-focus window the front most window. Its getting really frikin annoying. expecially when the window takes up the whole darn screen. Any work around this, less than $15 shareware ;) -- Dave. blitter@planetx.lanz.com http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/1411/
