[GNC] Startup issue - two windows

[Bruce Irving]

I believe that I might have experienced Tommy's situation - twice, on
different machines.  I believe they happened when I had just installed GNC
on a new PC,  I open the GNC by double clicking the data file.  Hopefully,
I remember the details.
GNC would show the opening banner (I never turn that off.  I don't like no
activity during the start-up!)  Then the normal screen opens, the Run
Scheduled Transactions appears and finally, Tip Of the Day appears on top
of RST.  The later doesn't allow any activity on the other windows (within
GNC) until it has been dismissed but, unfortunately, it is hidden by TOD.
Once I get past that blockage, then I can turn off TOD and RST so they
don't appear any more.
Hope this helps.
