Hi Doug,

Sorry to reply so late, but I have a backlog of
use-rev mails :-)

If you haven't found a way to make it happen yet, I'd
suggest you just make sure the user doesn't notice it
: you could make a snapshot of your 'embedded window'
and put that as a picture on your 'main window' (eg on
'suspendStack').
Then when the user wants to edit the picture again (eg
on 'mouseEnter', you would switch the embedded window
to the front.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
