I'm trying to figure out what a status window is, but every time I try and add one, the program adds a status bar instead. Do I have to manually type the command to create it, or am I doing something wrong?

If done through the Settings Editor you have to put the stuff you want displayed in the box labeled "Window:". If done within a script of from the command line use the #STW command.

Within the Settings Editor, the status bar and status window share the same control even though they have two different entities within the New button. To make a status window, choose either item (it really doesn't matter which one). In the Editor window, you will notice two text areas. The single-line area is for the STATUS BAR and should have a label called Line. The multi-line area is for the STATUS WINDOW and should have a label called Window.

Now, if you were to do it programmatically, you'd use the #STATUS command to define a status bar and the #STW command to define the window.
