tabbed windows

[Jim Ault]

On minor comment, Tom.  Declaring variables in Transcript can lead to
unexpected results as in this case, you chose "a".  This is technically a
reserved 'word', as in 'there is a file', etc.  Most of the time you will
have no problem, but there will be occasions when Transcript will get
confused.  This is a case where I would use "aaa" to make the name both
unique and more visible.

REPEAT with aaa = 1 to the num of lines of vTabs

Just an idea to consider.
