subject: Weird windows...

following up a message from Eddy Thilleman to Sean Dennis:

I think you may need to hold down the ALT key when doing this.  I prefer to
set the MAXIMIZED=YES setting in the object itself.  If you have my
GETSET.cmd, this is not too hard.  Just look up the ObjectID, have GetSet save 
it to a CMD file to recreate the object, and add the MAXIMIZED=YES to the
settings, then run the command file.  Works every time...  I like to do things 
the hard way for some reason.:-)
