I have recently switched from a PC to a Mac. One thing that bothers me about the Stata version for Mac is that the results, command, review and variable windows are separate windows. With the windows version whenever I clicked on the "results" window, I also got the command etc. windows to the front, which was something I really liked. On the Mac I always have to go hunting for all windows whenever I switch from the do-file editor back to the dataset to have a look at, say, variable names or whenever I want to do some quick descriptive statistics before deciding about some cleaning procedure, etc. Is there a way to "fix" these four windows so that clicking on one of them always bring all four up to the front?


You can achieve this with Preferences -> General Preferences -> "Bring all windows to front when activated." However, as Steve has noted, many users prefer the default behavior (which is standard for OS X applications). The default behavior gives you more flexibility, and you can always bring all Stata windows to the front by switching to Stata with cmd-tab.
