Yes, I saw that. But that itsn''t quite what I wanted': Recall that the "main window" of one attached window may itself be attached to another window, etc. The code is a simple recursion which I wrote. I just think it needs to be in the ATTACHEDWINDOW package.'

I added the function MAINWINDOW(WINDOW RECURSEFLG).  RECURSEFLG if T causes it to go to the topmost mainwindow.'
'
Mike':  I updated the documentatin and put it on <lispcore>library>attachedwindow.tedit (since it had been on <lisp>library>attachedwindow.tedit.  This needs to be incorporated into the manual at some point.'
