minimize a window in Classic ?

[galgot]

anyone know a utility permitting minimization of a finder window in Classic ? The system has window collapse by default, is there a thing to be able to minimize a window to say, a icon on the desktop or something ?

For older Macs there exists an extension called (I think) "Drag any Window" which lets you move around any fixed window or prompt screen.  This is highly useful in compact macs.  For later Macs, the WindowShade function in OS 8 and above might also be useful.

Window Shade was introduced in 7.5, and existed as an extension beforehand.

Was more thinking of a utility to minimize or iconize a finder window...

Yes I know Window Shade , that's what I was mentioning when talking about window collapse.

The original WindowShade control panel had a feature where, when activated, your windows were reduced to a short title bar in the corner of the screen. Different modifier keys would do this for the current window, all windows in the current app, or all windows period. This was a very useful feature, but fiddly enough to use that Apple disabled it when they bought the rights and made it part of the OS.
