From: "John Beamish" 

"up to ... three windows per program running concurrently"

So ... what happens if a window opens a modal window and it opens another
modal window and that one wants to open yet another modal window (i.e., a
fourth level)?  Or have I misunderstood?

Also, with IE ... suppose I shift+click (or is ctrl+click) and open a
couple of extra windows but with CrazyBrowser I can use tabs.  Since the
tabs are, effectively, windows ... what happens there?

I won't be impacted (I'm using a full version of XP) but I am curious.
