1)
So when you say "reduce number of windows": Does that imply reduction of 
shortcuts too. Or will all the shortcuts be kept, and just switch to the 
correct tab (including open the window, if not yet open)?

2)
There also is an argument for not merging the  windows. Someone might 
want to have both windows open, and see both lists at the same time.
I don't use many of them, but it isn't totally unrealistic to assume 
that someone, might have unit and procedure windows both open? So once a 
unit was selected you can seltct procedures with no window switching. 
(Especially people who have 2 or more screens)
