Attached is an example MDI applications. One top level window which
encapsulates the WHOLE application. Yet has multiple "document" windows
open, but they can ONLY live inside the bounds of the main window. There is
also one "document" window iconified (bottom left).

All those document windows can be tiled vertically or horizontally. After
doing that, they will still only be in the bounds of the main form. Delphi
7 IDE is *not* like that, hence SDI interface.
