Hi from Brittany,
Thanks to Brian and Sparkout for their valuable links.
I will try to do a clean and politically acceptable
job.
Oh ! And a bigger belated thank you to Brian for all of
his Hypercard externals I used for so many years . !

Francis,
Philosophical screen wars aside, here is a link that might get you
started on MacOS. I think the short answer is that there is no easy
way to do this in Rev or AppleScript, so you need to resort to a
command-line utility. You can of course call it directly from Rev
using shell()
Hi from Paris,
Thanks to all for your philosophical suggestions
(but no practical solutions). And I was right ! Rev
doesn't appear have the means to do all this !
I had (of course), thought about the raping of the
users computer, but I already have programs that do
this, but as long as they retur

Mark,
Yes you are right about the kiosk - a bad example. In any case, my
point was more that we don't know the particulars of the application
in question. I share your distaste for badly behaved software, but
surely there are some cases where it's ok for software to change your

Hi Brian,
I agree in the case of full-screen video games, but we don't make
those in Rev (yet?). I'm not sure that I agree in the case of video

is often displayed with a bad screen geometry and I wouldn't recommend
it.
Mark,
While I agree with you in principle, I think it's worth noting that an
application can always ASK the user for permission to change the
screen resolution and then do it for you with your approval. Also,
there are some cases (such as full screen video players or kiosks)

Hi Francis,
Accustomed as I am to running a variety of applications pretty much at
the same time and interchangeably, I feel you should stick with your
first approach. Let the user determine what to do. Just make some
suggestions, advising the user in advance of the various repercussions
Dear Francis,
Please, stay away from my screen. it is MY screen and NOT yours. You
simply have no right to change the system settings of my or anyone
else's computer. Of course, this message isn't only meant for you, but
for anyone who thinks of changing someone else's screen rect. Please,
You should be able to do it all for all supported platforms right in
native Transcipt.

Hi from Paris,
I have a stack which has a specific window rect
(don't we all ?).
I want to run the stack on any Mac or PC computer,
but I don't know the current screenRect setting for
my possible target computers, and my stack window
is large enough to provide display problems on other
computers
