Doesn't seem to do it. Thanks.

I also tried a hint I saw on Cocoabuilder.com from a few years ago that said
to make the window a NSPanel and then check the "Utility Window" along with
[[self window] setHidesOnDeacivate:NO]. Looked promising, but didn't work
either.

Any other thoughts floating around... No pun intended.

Thanks...
