If you switch back and forth between applications by using cmd-tab (cmd =
command = clover-leaf = apple key), all of Stata's windows come to the
front at once.
You might want to try out LiteSwitch from Proteron software. It is a much
nicer application switcher than command-tab, since you can configure it
to work with, say, both command-tab and, say, control-return (which is
nice if you use your mouse with your left hand).
