PARIS Windows
Most of your activity in PARIS takes place in a variety of windows which operate in a slightly non-standards-compliant way (users of Mac and PC have both assumed they resemble the other, but in fact they conform to neither completely). In some cases like the WindowMixer Mixer Window, they are expandable horizontally yet are constrained in height by what is currently chosen to be displayed in the mixer (the windows are in fact actually bitmaps created by Stephen St. Croix).
Having unneeded windows open in PARIS has been occasionally reported to have negative consequences. When you are finished using a window, it's considered good practice to close it.
