Ah - that would be different then. "Unsplit", or so. I guess it's mainly the naming that I didn't like - since C is a sibling of A, in terms of promiscuity. Anyway I think this would be made a lot simpler by having a "close view" button in the view titlebar... Click->close is much more intuitive than unsplit, since unsplit depends on the way you've split the views Example: A B C D If you unsplit on C, will it close D or A ? You have no way to know. The "siblings" of C could be A (if you first made two vertical views) or D (if you first made two horizontal views)... Hmm, we've been down this road before.

Point taken. But people don't like the current view frames either. Don't know what to do. David.
