It came to me this a.m. while in the shower (weird things happen
when you're in the shower...), that you could display all of your topics
in a secondary window. Secondary windows do not have the
standard menu items (File, Edit, Options, etc.), only buttons.
If you did need any of the functionality on those menus, you would
have to create them as buttons for that window (CreateButton
macro).
