hi Alfe

if i  understand well..
when i open a other file with texmacs, it is opened in the same  
windows as the first document still opened
and you can only see the foreground
and the "buffer" menu is a means to permute the documents at the  
foreground ?

and for the manipulations you describe, well, maybe i made a false one
but normally i only work like this:
i open several windows in the terminal of mac os X
then each time i need a new document at the screen i type "texmacs "  
and i slide the icon of the file after the spaceblank after the word  
"texmacs" i just typed in the terminal and then i press enter
that is less simple as double clinking but it works

i suppose that in a linux environment it is more simple and i  
apologize for Paul i did not manage to find time to explore the text  
you said me about how to connect virtual debian with usb key
