Richard: I’ve been playing around with this and noticed that if i move the IDE tools palette to the right far enough, the 4WDevo palette will move as far to the left as I want. So that tells me there is some interaction between the IDE tools palette and the 4W palette.
Again, if you can’t make it happen, I can live with it, especially now that I’ve played with it a bit more. It’s really pretty minor.
