Windows

All windows have this button in their toolbar, for restoring the main window. This command is also available from the
"Window" menu.


All windows have in their "View" menu commands for displaying or hiding:
- the toolbar
- the menu (when the menu is hidden, it can be displayed from the system menu of the window)
- the status bar
- the information pane (pane on the left that provides information & help links about the tool)

All windows can be freely moved or resized. The software retains memory of the position and size
of each window, for each project. Display options are also restored when a window is re-opened.

The list of open windows is always available from the main window. When you minimize a
window, it is hidden, but remains in the list of open windows.

All windows include in their status bar a small box that enables searching for a text in the contents
of the window
