Just Click is a great extension. It takes us half way back to something we lost from the last beta of system 6 Multifinder. Not only did that version change applications when you clicked on the upper right mini-icon, but if you also held down the option key as you clicked, the windows of the application you were leaving disappeared as the switch was made. I have lost the name and address of the author of Just Click. I wonder if he would consider adding this feature to his extension. -- Stan Armstrong.

It's a standard feature of the system: option-click on a background app's window will hide the current app as the new one comes forward. In fact, holding down the option key any time you switch apps seems to have this effect. ========================================================================== Rick Holzgrafe | {sun,voder,nsc,mtxinu,dual}!apple!rmh Software Engineer | AppleLink HOLZGRAFE1 rmh@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. | "All opinions expressed are mine, and do 20525 Mariani Ave. MS: 3-PK | not necessarily represent those of my Cupertino, CA 95014 | employer, Apple Computer Inc."
