Tim,

> 1.  Add the ablity to "Restore Down" after having Maximized miniwindows.

I looked at that when I originally implemented maximising, and could not
think of a convenient way to implement it, sorry.

> 2.  Add a Close All open windows option.

I assume your script keeps track of all of the mini windows it has created.
You can simply close them all manually:

hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMAX1');
hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMIN1');
hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMAX2');
hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMIN2');
hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMAX3');
hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMIN3');

No. It is much more complicated. It is basically like using the drag handle
to resize it, and dragging the window at the same time. It would need to
store the size before a resize (even though it actually does not know it ;)
), watch for manual resizing afterwards, then decide when it is next clicked
if it should maximise again, or restore.

Minimise is actually done with a separate mini window that has no content,
and minimise hides the main one and shows the minimised one.

In any case, I could not find a nice way to do it. However, if you want to
make a simple restore function that resizes to a specific size instead of
the previous size, you can use the resizeWin function, and moveWin function:

<a href="javascript:
  resizeWin('MWJminiwinMAX1','MWJminiwinMIN1',200,100);
  moveWin('MWJminiwinMAX1','MWJminiwinMIN1',10,10);
">

var oCount = 1;
while( getRefToDivNest('MWJminiwinMAX'+oCount) ) {
  hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMAX'+oCount);
  hideMinWin('MWJminiwinMIN'+oCount);
  oCount++;
}

That should work, I think.
