Hi Earle, Funnily enough I'm just writing a patch for the @<monitor>, which involves me dusting off my old c hat. I've got the monitor reading information working, I'm just integrating it into winprocarg.c
Should be done pretty soon... Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Earle F.

Since it's raised you should have a negative Y position, which does work OK with the checked-in patch. Programmatically, I like AGO's @<monitor> idea... -- -Earle F.
