This is the mode in which the DragonBar appears the
first time you start Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

The DragonBar always stays at the bottom of the
screen. If the Windows taskbar is visible at the bottom
of the screen, the DragonBar appears just above it.

window. When you drag the active window to a new
location on your screen, the DragonBar moves with it.
