Thanks for implementing the 'always on top'. However, please can it be separate from position and size, or provide us with a way to default the position and size. Otherwise, my application becomes responsible for tracking the position of the Help window, which it cannot do (simply). Users generally want the help window to remain where they last positioned it.
How about /stayontop as a separate (additional) option.

Re: eViewer 'always on top' option
Hi Greg,
Your application is responsible for setting the initial default position of the help window. The stay-on-top option only makes sense on smaller screens. If one has a display as huge as mine, stay-on-top would be a p.i.t.a. So it depends on the screen real estate and on the position of the help window. The only app that can decide this is the calling app, your application.

Re: eViewer 'always on top' option
I have a 4k display + 2 smaller ones... it is irritating when I look stuff up in the help, then click in my app to use the information and the help is buried... it all depends on the circumstances. Ideally, the viewer application would have this as an interactive option so the user can decide.
