It does eliminate the "A-B" problem.

That works fine too.

BUT...  Another problem is back:
Invoking the beta monitor from a CLI works just like from a desktop
object.  EXCEPT: when closing the monitor window, the entire CLI window
goes away too.

This was a problem with one of the original builds.  I wrote you about
it it back then, and you fixed it.  Broken again, it seems.

A real pain to (re)open a new CLI, then drill down again through eight
or so sub-dirs to get back where I was. ;)

Thanks!!! for all your work on the monitor generally.
Double-Thanks!!! for your attention to these little oddities.
