Hi Andrew,

Have a look to my lab's experiment 010:
http://www.aslugontheroad.co.cc/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69:experiment-010-docking-stacks&catid=35:lab&Itemid=53

This experiment shows how to dock 3 stacks in the same palette, detach
two of them as individual palettes or attach them to the main palette.


HTH,
