The cascading windows is a very nice idea because you could see all of the 
files that  were opened.But if that is too difficult, dividing the screen into 
two rows of tiled windows (maximum 6 or 8) would be reasonable .Thanks much for 
your better idea. Bob Currey Sent from my Galaxy

Re: mcedit: Is there a way to tell mcedit to start in window mode instead of 
full screen? (I'm replying to the list this time, just ensuring that it's not 
missed)Can I ask for clarification:- when an option, -w for example, will be 
given,- then mc should start with the file's window in windowed (not fullscreen 
mode),- for multiple files, possibly arranged the windows in e.g.: cascading 
way,?I think that this would involve first creating a CK_WindowCascade action 
that would arrange the windows (first exiting fullscreen if needed).On Fri, 15
