Hit the home button, fire up the map app, it opens just where I was, draw another room on, hit home, open frotz, it opens back where I was, etc...
It works ok, but is a bit clunky, you get splash screen each time and so on.
It would be slicker if holding down home gave you a task bar from which you could just select apps.
Sounds much better than the way I envisioned it. Does the Apple word-processing app (a <$10 price tag, I believe) work that way as well?
