[moneydance] MDI interface?

[Edward Reid]

Any idea whether a Java program, or the Java system, running under Windows 
XP can choose to use an MDI rather than SDI interface? Or in particular, 
whether there's any current way to get MD to use MDI, and if not how 
difficult it would be to get there?

For those not steeped in the alphabet soup, this refers to whether the 
application has a large "application space" window within which all its 
document windows open, or if the windows all float separately. The first is 
MDI (Multiple Document Interface), the second is SDI (Single etc). The 
Macintosh is like the SDI; I don't know about Unix systems but I think they 
are also like SDI.

The problem isn't with SDI as such -- heck, if I had my druthers I'd be 
using a Mac -- but with some of the awful things Windows does, like putting 
every window into the alt-tab display and taskbar. This can be overridden, 
but doesn't always work unless the application cooperates. (I have that 
taskbar option set, but MD windows still appear separately.) And a Windows 
screen just looks a lot more cluttered than a Mac screen even with the same 
windows open.
