Hi! If I use CAPI:WINDOWS-MENU with an instance CAPI:DOCUMENT-FRAME the menu contains a couple of functions like "Cascade" or "Tile Horizontally." Is there a way to call these functions programatically without going through the menu? Thanks, Edi.

Yes, that would have been the next thing I had tried but I thought I'd rather send a question to lisp-hug before I go to this meeting and see if I have a reply once I'm back home.

Thanks Dave, that works fine.
