> you can hide all-but-one taglines with right- (rathre than middle-) click on
tagline's `layout box' (the square to the left)

yes, i know, and i am aware also of the two-column method that andrey suggested above; however, a wide screen (1980) would then be nice... for now, i drag all but two windows to another (minimized) column to have two files open vertically (with no other taglines)

acme is cool and i would like it (fullscreen) as a ui, were it capable to display images within frames, ala abaco

thank you all for responses, and special thanks to andrey for pointing me at scrdump.c, i will explore
