Peter, thanks that looks very close to what I had in mind. And there is lots
in there for me to go explore too (as I've not played with modeless stack).
Sounds like "stack" might be another way of describing a window? Why do you
put the current seconds into the (I'm guessing) custom property of pdData?

Thanks a bunch
