Went to a demo show on installing patio door by a local rep. I'd noticed the
sliding panel was on the inside (of the house) and the stationary panel on
the outside on the demonstration. I don't remember ever seen the slider on
the inside so was the local rep. had it backwards or is this the new way of
doing it?

Just MHO but I _hate_ sliders. The worst abortion for closure ever
invented. High maintenance, poor sealing. When I added an 18x30
addition the wife insisted on a slider. I tried to convince her to go
with 'french doors' - no luck. She still cusses her stubborness.
Lates quote I got last year was about $1,500 to replace the Anderson
with a French door.

Were I ever to look at a house with a slider in it, it would have to
be replaced before I would buy.
