This is exactly what I *don't* want.  I want to be able to open up a viewer 
with, say, the help file for a command.  I then want to be able to start 
typing in the command window, while still having the viewer window 
visible.  But then I want to be able to minimize and/or put the viewer 
behind the results window at a later point, so I can see the results.

I also like to do this with graphs, but that's easy--they float on top, but 
have a "minimize" button to get them out of the way when I want to.
