Sounds like a nice idea to me.

Well, it surely would have to find its way into the documentation, as
otherwise it probably would be pretty hard to find out... (well, as noone
is reading documentation anyway, it'll still be, but at least we'd have an
excuse then >;o)
Anyway, I am going to implement that (default document position) soon, and
while at it, I am probably going to improve Pe's handling of multiple new
windows a bit: currently Pe moves each new window somewhat towards the left
and bottom of the one opened last, but it actually shrinks the window
vertically (i.e. the frame bottom of all windows stays the same). This I
find pretty weird, so I would like to get rid of it (again, unless semeone
shows me a good reason to keep that behaviour).
cheers,
Oliver
