Hi Bill,

when creating the frame, you need code like this in a PlugInFrame:

         this.setTitle(myTitle);
         WindowManager.addWindow(this);

And when closing

     /** Overrides the superclass close method */
     public void close () {
         WindowManager.removeWindow(this);
         super.close();
     }

If you don't have a PlugInFrame, I suspect that it would work the  
same way, with 'this' replaced by the reference to the frame. You  
will have to detect the 'Frame closed' event to remove your frame  
from the list - having a PlugInFrame is a simple solution for this  
(see the code above).

Michael
