Hi Rob,
Thanks kilos ... a valuable hint.
Not to detract in any way - honestly - but the Crtl-Esc action minimizes FPD in the tool tray, removing it from view. Having FPD still visible in a window is an advantage while accessing relevant data in other Windows apps.
Cheers,

Hi Mike,
Just one additional note related to one of the FPD SETTINGS that rob444 outlined above:
