I don't want to fix this bug (as I am already running under 2.0), but I'd
*REALLY LOVE* to have this cute little program you described. If anybody
knows how to get this - please email me (or email me the uuencoded program,
if it is not too long)

Thanks in advance,
Holger

sorry mail bounced....

 You can find it in the ab20 arc's (128.155.23.64) as
"/incoming/amiga/nextwin.lzh".
 The program basically erases the window and lets you drag a bob 
around. Two problems: 1) Annoying delay while the prog closes the window and
displays the bob 2) If your window touches any side of the screen it is
dropped and unselected, making it hard to place a window exactly in the 
corner of the screen.

 well, nice talking to you....

Problem 3) if a program has custom gadgets in the window title bar,
clicking on the gadget has no effect.  It is as if the nextwindow
hack is intercepting the click, and the program never sees it.
Well, that's what happened to me....
