+  * contrib/hbide/idesaveload.prg
+    * turned off MDI mode by default
+      reasons:
+      - MDI is a concept is off the map these days
+      - in MDI mode it's not possible (at least I could not find one)
+        or not easily to disable the "stats" window
+      - in MDI mode it's not possible to disable the editor related
+        toolsbars
+      - in MDI mode the window positions are not kept
+      - it's very confusing as default state even if above are fixed
+      if groups thinks that MDI is the future and it makes
+      HBIDE a much better tool, pls shout.
