Thank you for your insight. I wanted to generate my own windows to
accommodate an unknown quantity of pages. (one page per window). However, I
anticipated that I would be in for a difficult time so I am creating a bunch
of spare windows in PG:PRO and limiting the number of pages to a known
quantity.
