st: One other strange window behavior

[Fred Wolfe <fwolfe@arthritis-research.org>]

I hope I am understanding this correctly, but this seems to be a continual 
problem that I didn't have with 8.2.

I enter a command in Stata 9. It runs. I want to change to my text editor. 
Alt-tab leaves me in Stata, but alt-tab-tab switches to the editor. When I 
am in the editor, alt-tab switches back to stata. If I switch from the 
editor to Stata then I only need 1 alt-tab to go back to the editor. But as 
long as I put the mouse in the command window or type a command I will need 
alt-tab-tab. So I see the problem as being that in ANY other program 
(Windows XE) all-tab switch programs, but in stata if you are in the 
command window (or the results after a command) you need alt-tab-tab. AS a 
matter of consistency, when switching quickly, this is a real nuisance.

Can any one else verify this behavior?
