Thanks for the tip, Bruce. Nothing better than a tip with a heavy dose of condescension. I've been as clear as I know to be and if you believe that BBEdit handles saving window size and position the way a majority of Mac (or Windows) applications (text editing or otherwise), I respectfully disagree with you.
I tried your idea of setting a menu command for "Save Default Window" and then recording an Applescript of me calling that command, but nothing was recorded.
