I didn't mean emulating a single application using A/UX, but
extending the user interface to handle multiple applications
simultaneously. I want to use several Mac applications simultaneously.

I have trouble visualizing the bar along the top and the functions in
a multi-application environment. Every application needs it's own
bar. But the standard Mac interface would put them all in the same
place. Someone suggested to me that the window/application on the top
would 'own' the top bar. But you would have to keep changing which
application is on top of which to use the functions provided by a bar.

In this case, a pop-up menu would be much more convenient.
Less mouse travel on a large screen. No change in the window overlapping.

Window systems that force the active window to be on top on the stack
are a real pain.

Just an opinion, of course.
