In short, have Morpho follow the 'Multiple Document Interface' (Thanks for the metaphor, Mr. Higgins!), in which successive Datapackages inhabit separate, closable 'documents' that are children of a parent 'master control window'. Users have become accustomed to having this conceptual 'anchor' when using a GUI-based software package.....

Comments for Bug 1280:

Reported in morpho-feedback-20040122.doc in /doc/devs/ by Andrea Chadden After finishing the last screen of the Datapackage Wizard, the user should be returned to the ‘Main Morpho (blue) Screen’, which appears to be the central control screen for Morpho activities, or at least see some button on the new Datapackage screen that leads the user back there

Code has been changed so that the intial blue startup screen does NOT disappear when another frame is created. Now the startup screen remains until closed by the user.

This is not a Multiple Document Interface is the usual sense, but still gives the user access to the intial screen.
