'
The little attached window that appears above Tedit windows is new, and it is totally screwing the screen layout in the LFG system.'
'
What is it used for?   If it used only for certain commands, can I close it without screwing things up (and without closing the main window).  Can it be made to come up and down automatically?'
'
If it isn''t reasonable to have it go away, how can I determine the size of the composite containing the Tedit window plus the attached window, so that I can position things above it? '
