Preview - Input needed?

[Aaron Batty]

It would indeed be cool if the preview were just in the window, although
sizing concerns seem valid.

I just finished my stats class this semester (need to grade finals today).
It was our first time using the Preview window as the main graphics output
(it didn't work on Macs with the version we used last year, and most of my
students are web dev/design types and use Macs). It seems that students
always had 100,000 extra graphics windows behind the main RKWard window; is
that what we were talking about?

Also, I think the very name of it, "Preview", is misleading. It's actually
the most fully-featured graphics output that the program has. In fact, when
you click "Submit," it just makes a little PNG of what you get in Preview
and throws it into an HTML folder that people have a hard time getting it
out of. If it were all in one window, "Export to output" or something would
make more sense than "Submit," since you can also export to PDF, etc.

In unrelated news, I think we got ANOVA working for everyone eventually.
