Chapter 23 Work in the Environment 774
View a frameless Environment window
There may be times when you want to have access to particular Environment objects while
working in the main window—buttons that are used to control a tape machine, for example.
Instead of opening an Environment window each time, you can create a mini window that oats
on top of other windows.
1 Do one of the following:
•
Choose Options > Layer > Create Layer.
•
Choose Create Layer from the Layer pop-up menu.
2 Create the objects, cable them if necessary, then adjust their parameters as needed.
3 Reposition the objects, then resize the Environment window so that it’s just large enough to
accommodate the objects.
4 Choose View > Frameless Floating Window from the Environment menu bar.
A mini Environment window is created, which oats above other windows.
5 Position the window, then press Shift-L to lock it as a screenset.
6 Choose this screenset to access the tape controls whenever you need them.
