The ten files is a limit from windows. AdaGide uses the MDI interface
which limits the "Window" menuentry to 9 plus "More window".

"Windows can add up to ten menu items to the Window menu. When the tenth
child window is created, Windows adds the More Windows item to the
Window menu. Choosing this item causes the Select Window dialog box to
appear. The dialog box contains a list box with the titles of all MDI
child windows currently available. The user can activate a child window
by choosing its title from the list box."
