Actually, Bruce, this looks to be *exactly* what I was looking for!

I'd assumed that "Save Default X" referred to creating new windows; whereas my 
problem was getting existing windows to remain the shape I wanted. I did some 
experimenting with several operations that had seemed culpable: Multi-File 
Search followed by some individual file updates in its Results window; 
Multi-File Replace; and Update Folder. After all these the "Save Default X" 
holds good even if I haven't manually adjusted the width and saved the file at 
the desired width.

As a bonus, I realized that I also could set the Preview window to be a bit 
wider, which I also find helpful.

I certainly don't mind if I have to reset these after an occasional system 
crash or whatever. Avoiding the continual annoyance of narrow Edit windows is a 
notable improvement.

Thank you! (And thanks also to Brian and David for advice.)
