The -single option is not supported.

ptolemy/configs/doc/whatsNew4.0.htm says:

Single Window Mode (contributed by Thales).
If vergil -single is invoked, then a single window interface is used. This interface is experimental.
Limitations:

• The -single argument should be the first argument.
• The plot windows come up outside of the single window interface.

How this gets invoked is that $PTII/bin/vergil is a link to $PTII/bin/ptinvoke which checks that the first argument is -single and then invokes thales.vergil.SingleWindowApplication

The -single option should either be removed or fixed.

Hello

I noticed this when i open vergil with -single option. I can open the documentation (also a model) of an actor, after i close it the toolbar (file, edit ..) disappears and i need to reopen PtolemyII.
The -single option is really useful in case of big models but it needs an enhancement in this area.
