Window>Show ImageJ

dscho
Dear Wayne,

I noticed that you added a Window>Show ImageJ menu item, most likely in
response to my mail (but you did not say so). I would like to register my
doubt that "Show ImageJ" is understood by the users to refer to the main
window, in particular on MacOSX, where I would have understood the
application (i.e. *all* ImageJ windows) to be implied, at least before I
read the source code.

Maybe a better name would be required?

Ciao,
Johannes

There is no need to credit me with something, it's just that a reply to
my mail would have been nice.

How about "Show Main Window"? As far as I recall, the documentation refers
to that window as the main window (comprised of more than just the tool
bar: it has the progress and the status, too, and the main menu bar
associated with it).
