How to open a second window w/o disturbing calling stack.

[Earthednet-wp]

Graham,
Thanks for checking this. I'm working in lcv7.0, on Mavericks. I'll retest. Sometimes LC needs to be restarted to get things working right. Unfortunately, V7.0.1 ( rc2) crashes on one of my operations, so I'm using v7.0, which crashes on quit. Oh well, hope it gets fixed next release. 
Best,
Bill
