thanks Shay, but perhaps i should clarify:
running several applications, i might wanna switch to the finder to
drag a file onto a relevant application/document, but when i switch to
the finder, the windows/documents of various application remain in
front of open finder windows, which i want to drag files from. (so I
then hide all applications, switch back to the original app to show
it,
then switch back to the finder to perfom the task)
This might sound petty, but in programs like golive & photoshop i am
constantly moving between finder & the app to add files. (In OS 9, as
soon as you change to the finder, all windows come to the front)
You can command-tab *while* you're dragging to bring all the target
apps windows to the front. Assuming of course that you're
ambidextrous :)
So in this case you'd
command-tab to the finder
start dragging the document you want
command-tab back to Photoshop or whatever
drop the document.
Not particularly elegann but it does the job.
The other solution is of course to buy more, bigger, monitors :)
Have fun,
Shay

Im not sure if this adds to your conversation or not but an interesting
variation on command-tab is control-w.
