Good Point.  Possibly an overabundance of verbiage, nontheless, a good point.
I will be fixing this in my next version (my last version since this is
really somebody else's domain).  I'm only going to fix problems that are
found in my version and no more enhancements because I agree that only
one person should make new versions (namely T. Sumrall).

Either I will use screen_to_back() or I will make an invisable title bar
with live gadgets or both in version jrbii.1.

Hopefully this will make
my version less stupid and dorky...
