Well, here is one:
Just PE plus no other toolkit will just give you non-destructive
windows, not much more. 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.

Cheers,
Tobias
