I sounds like something you have to experience to appreciate.
Beyond my experience I'm afraid. You are way ahead of me.
Thank you for your final attempt to explain it to me.

Hi RBL,
Umm...I think you are trying to challenge me! I confess that I do not
know the meaning of the "FT" in MSFT Office nor do I understand "MDI
approach".
well, 'ft' are two last letters from the full name :)
mdi - multiple document interface.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface
as for it's usefulness...
first, most desktop environments provide a grouping functionality (with a
possibility to configure for always/never/when taslbar full), which i
despise and disable :)
our popular opensource contenders provide virtual desktops, which i find
much easier to use - and they nicely work to group my application windows
in any way i want.
there are proposals to implement something resembling tdi
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabbed_document_interface :) ) in oo.org,
but that won't happen tomorrow.
