MDI means "multiple document interface".  One of the 
longer-running complaints from VB users about Gambas is its 
current way of spraying a half dozen windows GIMP-like all over 
your screen.  In an MDI app (like VB6 for example) all the 
windows are contained in one big window that acts as a sort of 
mini-desktop, which many people find less confusing.  This was 
what my MDI version of Gambas attempted to do, albeit poorly (I 
never did implement a docking bar for example, like most modern 
MDI apps have) and eventually the normal Gambas IDE will be a 
single-window MDI application.

And "Kudla" is just my last name, not a company or anything like 
that.
