Re: PMconsole for Windows

Just a data point:

I have WfW 3.11 with OnNet 3.1 and PMConsole for Windows installed and
works fine for me.

Comment: Well, I guess having each port window open in exactly the same
place with each invocation regardless of whether or not other windows are
open is _one_ way of fixing the cascading-off-the-cliff bug I reported!

;-)

Seriously, feature request: I'd like to see the port windows cascade in
the fashion top-left to bottom-right until the bottom of the newest screen
meets the bottom of the PMConsole window, then the next window would open
directly to the right of the first, etc.

Alternatively: Since memory is limited and only a certain maximum number
of windows likely can be opened at one time, you COULD have it maintain a
queue of available window slots and open them top-left down-right, but when
a window is closed, have its place in the queue opened up so that the next
opened window opens there and on top of the others.

Anyone else like these ideas, or have any others?
