Sometimes I start a session of Mathematica 4.0 in Windows 98 with another programs open on my desktop. For a while, I have no problem bringing the other program to the foreground over the Mathematica "windows" (the title/menu bar and the notebook window) when I click that program's button on the Win98 taskbar. Occasionally, however, after being in Mathematica for a while, Mathematica will not relinquish the foreground. If I click on the taskbar button of a hidden program, the title bar of Mathematica goes gray, but the clicked program does not come to the foreground. I must minimize Mathematica to see the other program. Is it just me, or has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Dwynn Lafleur -- ========================================== L.
