I'm not familiar with these acronyms. MDI, SDI,
MDI = Multi Document Interface - has many windows within one single
outer window.
This was MS Standard for apps from Windows 2 through to Windows 95.
SDI = Single Document Inteface - has each document within its own
window.
This has been the preferred styule since XP (between 95 and XP I think
the
preferred style was up to the developers!)
Alt-Tab and up-arrow for navigating between
windows/commands
works for me :-)

screen.

Alt tab switches windows
Up/Down arrow moves up/down the command history within a window
So a typical session goes like:
Experiment at >>> prompt
Alt-Tab to vim
Edit & save file in vim
Alt-Tab to Console
use up arrow to retrieve last command
execute last command(ie run the script)
Alt Tab to vim to fix bugs or >>> to try out new ideas
I usually have vim expanded down the left hand side of my screen
(about 50-60 lines) with the python and Console windows taking up
the right hand side at normal size but with quite small fonts so I can
see all 3 windows at the same time. (If I'm using a monitor with
my laptop then I'll set dual screens and have Oulook and Word/Visio
running on the laptop screen for updating the design documents
and handling email)
