Additional toolkits reveal more possibilities, though. My system hs a command called WMOV, that sticks the current S*BASIC job's windows to the mouse and allows you to move them around interactively. Comes in very handy at times. I think it came with EasyPtr. I have not seen a command though that would shrink S*Basic to a button which would be quite nice, but you can define a hotkey that picks S*Basic to the top, which comes in handy as well. In my System I have configured that to the "both buttons" hotkey. In my opinion, that's about all you can do without specific PE programming.
