The help says "creates a canvas or image window". The options are 
[FLOATING|IMAGE]. These choices are optional, implying a third state 
being neither floating or image.

IMAGE:
Testing confirms the CURRENT, NOWINDOW, IMAGE has a window applied.

FLOATING:
Testing shows it creates a window, but is temporary!

NEITHER:
A normal window that can be dragged etc subject to its attributes.

Very good. The fog clears. Thanks to you both!
