One if the 'features' missing in PGAccess (at least, on the version found
in the 'ports-tree' of FreeBSD 4.1) is a simple 'save-without-quit'
function.
When you're editing a function; and you do save, the windows closes.

So, you do some debugging, you find a bug; and you need to re-open the
function.
Usually (on my workstation), the windows pops up at the wrong place of the
screen; and I usually need to do some 'resizing' to get the window in the
shape I like.
