When I copy & paste OR type this line of code in, I get an error that reads "Too many arguments."

Make sure you remove the line break!

Don't copy the % sign to the command line, it is just the prompt. I absent-mindedly included the % iwhen I pasted and got this error:
%: Too many arguments.

If you have gotten the "too many arguments" message after attempting to use this hint, and you have copied the text of the hint from your web browser and pasted it into terminal, do not copy or paste the"%" character.

Has anyone found a way to disable cascading on Mozilla? I use big windows to begin with, so new windows fall off the edge or run into the Dock.

How about just using tabbed windows? There's no need for a whole new window.

I do use tabs, but links often create new windows. Also I have different tab sets, each of which occupies its own window.

In my opinion, using *just* tabs is almost the same as using *just* new windows. In this case, the advantage of tabs is marginal compared to windows. However, the real genius of tabs is in the extra level of organization it gives me. It allows me to group related pages of content as different tabs in one window. This fits my non-linear, parallel browsing style perfectly. I can open up a window for macslash, a window for slashdot, and a window for google news. Then, in each of those, I open up tabs for all the articles that look good to me. Then I can come back through and read the articles as I want to. The benefit is that now instead of having them all mixed in different tabs or windows, I have them grouped. Macslash stuff in one, slashdot in another, and google news in another.

Of course, I'm not saying that everyone has to view this way. Everyone is different and everyone views in different ways. And that is exactly my point. While some people might be happy using only tabs (and others only windows), many of us like using both to maximise our organization. :)

P.S. - Now if someone came up with grouped tabs (in an non UI messy way), that might make me only want one window.

No problems with the command here. This has been driving me crazy for ages. I finally resorted to using an applescript to uncascade all the windows:

tell application "OmniWeb"
set bounds of every window to {0, 0, 850, 1024}
end tell

I like this hint much better. Thanks!

hi all,
I am sure I have this problem too!! :)
but... what is "cascading windows"? (I am not a native english speaker)
Is it that windows become small and then if you open a new window
its also small? Or that the new window is bigger and more to the left and down
for instance?

It refers to the fact that new windows open down, and to the right of the older windows.

yup, taz it.
thnx :)
