I've just tried it myself, Martin, and I confirm your findings. Thank 
you for solving the problem. Now, of course, I just have to figure out 
*HOW* the IDE bar got maximised, because as I said in my original 
posting, it appeared totally spontaneous. The first indication I had 
was in the middle of a debugging session when suddenly everything but 
the source window disappeared. If there's any way of maximising the 
IDE bar with the F7 and F8 keys then it's news to me!
