subject: Weird windows...

Hello, Eddy.

Replying to a message of Eddy Thilleman to Sean Dennis:

Hmmm-I just tried that and it's not working... when I double-click on the
titlebar, it maximizes the window and puts it in the upper left corner.  I
type 'exit' and then go and reopen another window and it goes back to being
minimized.

I think this happened once when I was closing windows and the machine froze; I 
think I've done something to an INI file or something.  Unfortunatly, I don't
know enough about INI files to try to go hunt down what happened...

Later,
Sean
