One line description:
To manage windows setup and parameters
Expanded description:
Window Master can record the settings of the system windows (MB, message, ruler, info, legend, stat and MI main) i.e. position, size and state (open, close, mini, maxi). The user places and sizes each of these windows and decides of their state, then use the "Register..." menu item. He can then at any moment "Restore..." those windows in their recorded state (menu item or icon added to the TOOLS buttonpad).

Other functions are available from the menu and the WM buttonpad. They all act directly on the FRONTWINDOW (not all functions are applicable to every kind of window) and include setting title, size, position and default view, adding/removing auto-scroll, scroll bar and smartpan, choosing coordinate, area and distance units and calculation type, toggling betweeen Decimal and DMS, between moving duplicate nodes on and off, setting the snap threshold.

Options include specifying a docked position for the tool pad, displaying or not confirmation dialogs for some operations (e.g. scrollbars, movenodes...), choosing which icons to display on the toolbar and reordering the distance and area units.

This application can be run on MI=>4.0 but not all the functions are available with every MI version; some items may be greyed out and corresponding icons not displayed depending on the installation version.
