Well, not to rain on your parade or anything but, the problem I can
see here is that you'll have to find a programmer who wants the same
things.  Others programmers who don't want this functionality would
rather spend their time writing something that they will get to enjoy
as well as others.

Personally, I have no desire to have either of these options.

As long as the program that is running gives me a menu with a list of
open windows, I'm more than happy to use it to switch between windows.
Personally, when using Win 95, I have the task bar minimized and
hardly ever touch it.

And with respect to an INIT to hold down the mouse button after a
click, I'm quite capable of holding it down myself.  However, this
type of INIT would be an aid to disabled users.  Hmm, I may have to
amend my statement about these options.  :-)

Something I would like to see, and might program someday, is an INIT
that would allow me to press OA-TAB to cycle through the open windows.
Kind of like Windows 3.1 and 95 do.
