Hi all. First of all i want to thanks for you replies. Now...i don't want to create a controversy..i'm trying only to understand.

When you are working on your Excel file you do it within your boundaries (application window). You can open many excel files, change view, etc. but again it is inside of the window. | Now you are asking - Can I focus on WordPerfect window from my excel book? | And answer is no, because you don't have WordPerfect window opened and you don't even have it installed. | Let's pass to word example (Excel is not my best :-) ).I imagine, instead, that the portal is the Word software, while my portelt is a word document tha can contain several page; now in word when i use an hypertextual link i can go from a page to another page...well what i want is to obtain this thing. I'll try to be clearer... i must start from my home page; in my home page i have three columns where on the left there are two or more portlets (a menu portlet where the user can choose tha page where he wants to go) and a search motor portelts by using that user can search in the portal. In the central column i have some other portlets between them there a my portlet that shows a list of news. On the rigth column i have some other portlets. Now when the user chooses to see a news detail it's not too nice to show the detail into a thre columns page..so i'ld like to change page and show a two columns page where on the left there are still the menu portlet and the search motor portlet (and the user can still use them and by using the menu portlet can choose anothe portal section while by using the search motor can do a search...), in the central column there is only only my one portlet that shows news detail instead of news list; all the other portlets must be no longer present. In this way i can build my "detail page" by using more space in the page and by showing all the images i want without to be worried about the rigth column and its portlets.... I hope to have been clearer...i'm sorry for my bad english.. I think this is the most common scenario...at least i have seen the most internet portals built in this way. I can undertand that to pass a request parameter from a page to another can be difficult and can create confusion (let's image there are two portlets that use the same name for the parameter:-) ) but this can be solved by creating the URL by saying what is the portlet that must use this parameter. I repeat i don't want to offend or create controversy :-) I'm only trying to understand how i can solve this problem....i think that a lot of people have been in this case; if it's not so...i think they'll be :-). Thanks to all.
