I'm using Textpad 6.1.3 configured to handle multiple documents in one main textpad window. I'd like to be able to cascade the windows so I can arrange my documents in a way that makes sense for what I'm doing. The help file implies this is possible, and the "Windows" toolbar has an icon for cascading, but I can't get the windows to cascade.
Is it possible to have the windows cascade?

Hi Ben, thanks for the advice. I fixed it last night and am posting how I did it... not sure if Window | Cascade works, but what I did was:
1. Go to View - and uncheck Document Tabs (if you have more than one document open you will get a full screen of the first document in the stack).
2. Click the two little boxes graphic in the upper right of the application "Restore Window" - this should break out your documents into seperate windows within the program.

Panes are back, but a pain to use.
This is the one thing I have been waiting for to upgrade from 4 to 6.MrDanger wrote: Uncheck Document Tabs.....
I could not get use to tabs in 5 so stuck with 4.
The only problem with how TextPad 6 workis is that the minimise button (L.H. button top R.H. corner of window) is dead to the world, so you have to manually organise your panes to work between documents which is my main use for TextPad.
So 2 steps forward 1 step back!
