[aus.mac] Ghost windows

charles@tasis.utas.oz (Charles Lakos) (06/03/88)

In Inside Macintosh Vol1 p287, there is a tantalising reference to a global
variable GhostWindow which points to a window which will never be considered
frontmost.  What does this mean in practice - will you receive activate,
deactivate, update events for this window?  Will overlaps with other 
windows be handled properly?  Can you use TextEdit to write in the window?

Has anyone used this feature?
