The manager invovled here is the Text Services Manager. In the Info-Mac
archives look for appe-windows-203-c.hqx for a shell that shows how to
create floating windows. Haven't done it myself though.

So suppose that means Jack will want someone to provide a module for this
manager if he hasn't already!!
