- The basic idea was that closing a window does not remove the data (of the
- window) from memory. The window might be iconified (e.g. Interface) or
- displayed in a window list (take a look at 7Up & Interface) - very useful
- under plain TOS (limited number of windows) and in a multitasking
- environment (because it doesn't waste space on small monitors like Iconify
- does).
- If you abandon the window (or the iconified symbol) then data is removed
- from memory. In opposite to "REVERT <object>" (CTRL-H) data is not
- reloaded.
-
- I suggested CTRL-D for this feature because Ofir recently used
- Shift-CTRL-U in his proposal to close all windows. If you don't need a
- shortcut for closing all windows (is there any demand for it?) you might
- use Shift-CTRL-U to Abandon.
