As new windows are opened, they will automatically cascade, allowing their titles to be seen simultaneously.

Dock and maximize (F12)
Causes all windows to use the maximum space available.

Disable docking

Minimize all
Causes all windows to be hidden. A window will pop up which will allow the Hotpad windows to be shown again.
Reorder windows
Will bring all Hotpad windows to the front, in order, starting with the documents, then the message and project windows. This is useful if a back window is brought to the front for editing, but then is blocking other windows.


All open Hotpad windows...
All currently open Hotpad windows are shown in this part of the menu. Each window can be brought to the front by selecting it in the menu.
