I would think this would be acceptable only if you modified the concept to be somewhat like Sun-windows -- that is, JUST moving the mouse pointer into a window would not 'top' it, but it would be auto-topped if you then DID anything -- hit a keyboard key, press a mouse button, ... The auto-top would NOT eat the key or mouse press, but would top the window and then pass the key or mouse-press through to it. -- Paul Smee, Univ of Bristol Comp Centre, Bristol BS8 1TW, Tel +44 272 303132 Smee@bristol.ac.uk :-) (..!uunet!ukc!gdr.bath.ac.uk!exspes if you MUST)
