Unfortunately, there is no easy way (at least that I can see) of changing the teir level of a window. Does anyone out there know how to do this? Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Brendan McNichols mcnichol@sansyr.psy.syr.edu (NeXT mail gladly accepted :) ) mcnichol@rodan.acs.syr.edu (boring old ascii mail :( )

PSsetwindowlevel(anInteger,[theWindow windowNum]); In your specific case, you of course want anInteger >= NX_DOCKLEVEL+1 Note, too, that anInteger can really be any integer. The level of the desktop window (that big, boring, dark gray thing in the background), for instance is -2^31 (-2147483648). Putting a window at level 2147483647 would make it difficult for anything to cover it. Hope this helps, Chris Kane kane@gac.edu Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minnesota
