   When a msg sending window is close (even the "N sent" icon), that window''s prompt window comes back and stays back until it is closed manually.'

Yet another case of Tedit routines doing something for the user-invoked Tedit that is inappropriate when it is not the owner of the window.  The Lafite problem arises because you changed Tedit''s exit routine to clear the prompt window.  Unfortunately, in this case, the prompt window has already been detached and closed.  How about you only clear the window if it''s OPENWP?'

When I close the little Icons that Lafite creates (which I don''t like), I get an extra wide bar across my screen.'

The problem was introduced in the most recent Tedit, wherein the Tedit exit routines clear the window''s prompt window.  Unfortunately, in the case of Lafite message senders, said prompt window is already closed by the time Tedit does this.  I have requested that TEditSupport fix this.  Ironically, the Tedit feature was introduced in an attempt to fix another interaction that was getting in Lafite''s way.'
