This refers, indirectly, to bug report: <http://www.astroplanner.net/reports/details/1000/1076.shtml

Typically, on the Mac, if you open an application and you didn't (a)  
double-click one or more documents, or (b) the app doesn't remember  
previously opened documents, then the "standard" behaviour is to open  
a blank untitled document (i.e. in the case of AstroPlanner, a blank  
plan document). For various reasons in the past I did not do this.  
However, there's no reason not to now.

Is Windows the same?

Currently, under these situations the Mac version opens with no  
windows open (i.e. just the menu bar). In Windows I put up a dialog to  
select a previously opened document or create a new one (I have to do  
this, since there is no menu bar any more).

I'm leaning towards the "standard" behaviour mentioned above, but I  
open the floor to discussion.

(and so saying he goes grocery shopping...)
