 On a reverse note :). 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 ;)
