Thanks, Sami, Yes, there's lots of things I could do <g>, but the edit is good because I can correct anything that're wrong without having to go back and do it somewhere else. The point is, this _should_ be simple - make the window big or small, no big (no pun intended) deal. As I say, maximize _works_ - just flashes madly as it does it.
