Yes, at least I think so. These multiple windows don't appear unless
I'm *replying* to a message though. They ain't there when I create a
message, forward or redirect one.

Perhaps, but it is confusing (maybe I'll get used to it eventually?), plus it
wouldn't allow me to place the cursor where I wanted it. Hmnnnn.

BINGO!
Thanks, Januk! That does the trick...I'm back to the single pane.
And I can now place the cursor anywhere, delete text, etc.
Either TB's interface isn't very intuitive...or I'm not.
On the plus side, I really like the way TB highlights the quoted text in
color too, a la Agent, etc. (and which is something Eudora lacks).
