Nope.  Right on James.  Its not automatic, but all the windows are sized 
and separated so you can just push them to a different CDE window and 
you are done.  Just less clicks.

Hopefully, you are not starting and stopping NetView a million times so 
once in a while a few clicks and its all setup the way you want.
